Current Research:
Chuck Nittrouer's research
interests include the modern and ancient formation of sedimentary strata in
continental margin environments, and the effects of physical and biological
oceanic processes on sedimentary characteristics. Chuck is also coordinator
of Strata FORmation on Margins (STRATAFORM) and fellow of the Geological Society
of America.
