Dr. Karin Goldberg
Associate Professor
I work at the Department of Geology, Kansas State University, USA. My main research interests lie on the broad fields of Energy, deep-time Paleoclimatology and Medical Geology. My research projects focuses on acquiring rock data (either in outcrop- or core-based projects) and integrating different analytical methods (sedimentology, stratigraphy, petrology, paleontology and geochemistry) to address a variety of geologic issues in Sedimentary Geology.
I am also a faculty researcher of the Johnson Cancer Research Center (https://cancer.k-state.edu/research/faculty/).
