Professor Dr. Edwin Schauble

Biography

Edwin Schauble is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on geochemistry, specifically computational chemistry, electronic structure modeling, and the interactions of natural materials and pollutants. He is known for his work on stable isotope fractionation theory and the development of new proxies for ancient climates and environmental conditions. His current research interests include species-dependent isotopic signatures of dissolved iron, spectroscopic signatures, thermodynamic properties of dissolved silica, and non-mass dependent isotopic fractionation of heavy elements. Furthermore, he is investigating the calibration of the 13C-18O clumping paleothermometer and the potential role of silicon as an alloying element in Earth's core. With a robust academic background, Schauble is dedicated to understanding the complexities of geochemical processes in the Earth’s environment.
