Princeton University’s Department of Geosciences is at the forefront of scientific discovery in Earth physics and geology, Earth chemistry and biology, and the study of Earth's ocean, atmosphere, and climate. The Geosciences Department, together with its affiliated inter-departmental programs and institutes, serves as the central focus for the Earth, atmospheric, oceanographic, and environmental sciences at Princeton. As such we encompass a rich diversity of scientific expertise and initiative that ranges, for example, from the measurement and modeling of global climatic change, to high-pressure mineral physics, to seismic tomographic imaging of the Earth's interior or the analysis of terrestrial and planetary tectonics.

Professor Daniel Sigman elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Sigman, the Dusenbury Professor of Geological and Geophysical Science in the Department of Geosciences and an associated faculty member in the High Meadows Environmental Institute, has been elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Daniel’s research focuses on global cycles of biologically active elements in order to understand the causes of past changes in the atmosphere, the role of greenhouse gases in the waxing and waning of ice ages, and the ocean’s response to climate change. He is a leader in the development and creative use of nitrogen isotope approaches for understanding modern ocean biogeochemistry and for the reconstruction of ocean biogeochemical history.

Founded in 1863 under Abraham Lincoln, the National Academy of Sciences is one of the world’s most prestigious professional societies. Its mission is to provide the nation and government with objective advice on issues in science and technology. Scientists are elected for outstanding contributions to research and a consensus within the scientific community that an individual is a national leader within their field.

Professor Sigman has been previously recognized with a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists, and the James B. Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). He is a fellow of the Geochemical Society and the
American Geophysical Union.

Congratulations to Professor Sigman on this prestigious achievement!
