Dr. John A. Rayburn
 

Hello friends and visitors...... My name is John Rayburn and:

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at SUNY New Paltz specializing in Geomorphology and Environmental Geology.  I am also a part of the Environmental Geochemical Science program.

Before arriving at New Paltz I was a Mendenhall Fellow at the United States Geological Survey, working with the Eastern Earth Surface Processes Team under the direction of Dr. Tom Cronin and Dr. Byron Stone studying the record and mechanisms of abrupt climate change during the last deglaciation.

During the 2004-2005 academic year I worked at the Center for Earth and Environmental Sciences at SUNY Plattsburgh as a Senior Research Associate with Dr. David Franzi and Ms. Eileen Allen.  I maintain volunteer status at CEES, and continue a close working relationship with David Franzi and his students.

I completed my Ph.D. in May 2004 in the Geology Department at Binghamton University (SUNY), where I was awarded a GAANN fellowship and a Binghamton University Graduate Student Award for Excellence in Research.
