Dr. Brendan Reilly
Research Associate (Postdoc), CEOAS
Education:
Ph.D., Ocean, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences: Geological Oceanography, Oregon State University (2018)
Graduate Certificate in College and University Teaching, Oregon State University (2016)
M.S., Geoscience, Montclair State University (2013)
B.S., Management, Boston College (2008)
Research Interests:
I primarily work on sedimentary records of Earth history, especially how magnetic minerals are used to reconstruct paleoenvironments (environmental magnetism), chronology (magnetostratigraphy), and the Earth’s magnetic field (paleo-geomagnetism). I am also interested in how other non-destructive analyses, particular scanning x-ray florescence (XRF) and computed tomography (CT), can be used to improve our understanding of these magnetic records. Geographically, I am involved in projects around the Antarctic Peninsula, Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Indian Ocean, and North America.
Other Interests:
Outside of the lab, you can find me exploring Oregon, baking bread, or playing with my psychedelic western surf rock band.
