Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Glenn R. Sharman's research program focuses on geological provenance studies and geochronology, investigating the origins and histories of sedimentary rocks and geological formations. His work utilizes isotopic systems, such as Uranium-Lead (<scp>U–Pb</scp>) and Lutetium-Hafnium (<scp>Lu–Hf</scp>), to trace sediment sources and understand geological processes. Sharman has published research examining continental shelves as areas of detrital mixing, specifically in the Bering Sea, and has investigated the provenance of sediments along the southern California coast in relation to coastal erosion and fluvial sediment supply.

His research also delves into the analytical techniques used in geochronology. Sharman has published studies on modeling apparent lead (<scp>Pb</scp>) loss in zircon <scp>U–Pb</scp> geochronology and investigating the phenomenon of cryptic <scp>Pb</scp> loss in laser ablation dating of zircon compared to <scp>CA</scp>‐<scp>TIMS</scp> methods. Additionally, his work includes the application of machine learning to predict sand modal composition, demonstrating an interest in computational approaches to geological data analysis. Sharman's collaborators include Jordan Oefinger, John Shaw, Barry Shaulis, and Kalli Dubois, all affiliated with the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
