Richard Marinos
Assistant Professor of Geology I came to UB in the fall of 2020 as an assistant professor in the Geology department. I am someone who is passionate about understanding how humans are shaping our biogeochemical world for better and for worse, and I am interested in training broad thinkers and vocal scientists who can help humanity address our environmental problems. Before arriving at UB, I was a postdoc with Nandita Basu at the University of Waterloo, and before that I was a Ph.D. student at Duke University with Emily Bernhardt. Before that, I was a agroforestry volunteer in the Peace Corps Cameroon, a chef, a farmhand, and a snake catcher. I love to spend time woodworking, playing guitar biking, hunting for mushrooms, and playing with my two awesome kids. [email protected] 716-645-4289 428 Cooke Hall UB North Campus |

Fiona M. Ellsworth
Ph.D. Student in Geology Fiona is a PhD candidate broadly interested in the impact of plant roots on soil biogeochemical processes and fungal and microbial ecology. When she isn’t wrangling roots in growth chambers, she enjoys trail running and reading about science. Fiona's professional website Jessica Paskie
M.S. Student in Environmental Geosciences Jessica is an undergraduate student working with Fiona Ellsworth on biogeochemistry research. She is interested in geochemistry and plans to pursue a masters degree in geology after graduation. Jessica enjoys hiking and reading in her free time. Kris Ogilvie
B.S. Student in Biology Kris' interests include forest ecology, physiology, entomology, and chemistry. In her free time, she enjoys film photography, folk music, and hiking. Su Su
B.S. Student in Environmental Science Su is an undergraduate student pursuing a major in Environmental Studies with a minor in Earth System Science. She has a strong interest in how the environment affects wildlife. She enjoys spending time outdoors, often hiking and fishing.
