The Anthropocene
 Presenter:  John Geissman is Professor Emeritus of Geoscience at the University of Texas at Dallas (2021) and Professor Emeritus of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico (2011). At the University of New Mexico he led a very active research laboratory in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism and retired in 2010, when he moved to the University of Texas at Dallas, and set up a second, highly active research laboratory. John Geissman's research interests lie in the fossil magnetic properties of geologic materials (paleomagnetism and rock magnetism) and their use in addressing geologic problems, in particular in structural geology, tectonics, and stratigraphy. He is past Chair of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UNM. He has served on several editorial boards and National Science Foundation advisory and review panels for the Earth Sciences. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (2006) and the Geological Society of America (1996).
