Thure E. Cerling is a Distinguished Professor of Geology and Geophysics and a Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Utah. Cerling is a leading expert in the evolution of modern landscapes including modern mammals and their associated grassland ecologies and stable isotope analyses of the atmosphere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nas.nasonline.org/site/Dir/529267176?pg=vprof&mbr=1002098&returl=http%3A%2F%2Fnas.nasonline.org%2Fsite%2FDir%2F529267176%3Fpg%3Dsrch%26view%3Dbasic&retmk=search_again_link )〕 Cerling lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. :''"A single hair can determine a person's location during the past weeks or even years"'' – Thure E. Cerling Cerling’s research interests are primarily focused on Earth surface geochemistry processes and on the geological record of ecological change.〔 Particularly, working on conservation biology, Cerling has analyzed the modern animal diet and physiology by using stable isotopes as natural tracers as well as studying dietary changes of different mammalian lineages extending over millions of years. Emphasizing continental ecologies of lakes and modern soils and ecosystems, Cerling has written extensievely about the evolution of ecosystems, the inception and strengthening of monsoons, and the atmosphere over geological time scales through evidence gathered about the fractionation of stable istopes in these systems. Current research work includes a focus on the development of landforms in semi-arid regions, the geology of Old World paleo-anthropologic sites and on contaminant migration in surface and ground waters, including the use of tritium and helium as hydrological tracers. == Early life == Thure E. Cerling received his Bachelor of Science degree in geology and chemistry from Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, in 1972, and, in 1973, his Master of Science in geology from Iowa State. In 1977 he was awarded a Ph.D. in geology from the University of California at Berkeley. From 1977 to 1979 he worked as a research scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and, from 1979 he has been a member of the University of Utah’s faculty. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thure E.
