Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We aim to create a diverse, equitable, just and inclusive culture in our laboratory group. We recognize that our scientific community is not separate from the outside world and is impacted by systemic injustice. Our goal is to support all group members in their personal and scientific growth both in and outside of the lab.
Experimental Geochemistry group members are involved in a number of DEI initiatives within our department, within the institution, in the broader geology community and our local communities as well. The links below are intended to be a sample of resources to help current and potential group members connect with others and get started with DEI work in our field.

Land Acknowledgement
Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ’ (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ’ are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York State, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ’ dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ’ people, past and present, to these lands and waters. This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ’ leadership.For more information, see Cornell’s Land Acknowledgement statement.
