Biography

James W. Dottin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University. His research focuses on the geochemistry of sulfur isotope variations in Ocean Island Basalts (OIBs), Martian meteorites, pallasite meteorites, and various lunar materials. With a goal of understanding sulfur processes in solar system bodies, his work seeks to determine the dynamic interplay of volatiles within the planets' interiors, surfaces, and atmospheres. Ultimately, Professor Dottin aims to use detailed constraints on sulfur cycling in planets to identify broader evolutionary patterns and their respective histories. He has a well-defined approach to examining the implications of sulfur cycling on planetary evolution and its connection to geological processes.
