Biography

Matt Dodd is a geochemist who develops and applies novel geochemical tools to understand carbon and nutrient cycles that affect the long-term habitability of Earth. In 2017, he discovered the oldest known fossils on Earth, which received global media attention. His current work focuses on studying changes in global carbon, phosphorus, and oxygen cycles to understand the critical elements that shaped the evolution of Earth's atmosphere, climate, and the evolutionary history of life. A detailed understanding of these cycles is essential for predicting the future habitability of Earth and extraterrestrial planets.
