Dr. Ethan Grossman

Biography

Ethan Grossman is the Michel T. Halbouty Chair at Texas A&M University, specializing in stable isotope geochemistry with research interests spanning clumped isotopes, global change, paleoclimates, and hydrogeochemistry. He obtained his Ph.D. in Geochemistry from the University of Southern California in 1982, focusing on stable isotopes in benthic foraminifera. His notable contributions have earned him recognition as a Fellow of the American Association for Advancement of Science and the Geological Society of America. Grossman's research addresses critical geological and societal issues, including extreme climate effects on Earth history and the interconnections between the carbon cycle and climate. He has been involved in significant grants addressing climate transitions and the kinetics of clumped isotopes in carbonate minerals. His academic work not only enhances our understanding of geological processes but also fosters educational initiatives aimed at making paleothermometry accessible to high school students. Grossman has advised numerous Ph.D. and M.S. students, many of whom have gone on to prominent roles in academia and industry. His ongoing research is pivotal in advancing geochemical techniques for investigating complex environmental challenges.
