Rate My Professor Joseph Stoner

Stoner's research focuses on sediment magnetism encompassing paleomagnetism, environmental magnetism, geomagnetism, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and paleoclimatology. Ongoing investigations reconstruct Holocene geomagnetic field patterns in the Arctic (Canada, Svalbard), Gulf of Alaska, Iceland, East Greenland, and North Atlantic; late Pleistocene paleomagnetic records from the Chilean Margin; and advance geomagnetic paleointensity as a global stratigraphic dating tool. He has contributed to major seagoing expeditions as principal investigator, proponent, and shipboard scientist, including IODP Expeditions 341 (Southern Alaska Margin, 2013), 323 (Bering Sea, 2009), and RV Oceanus expeditions. Service includes NSF review panels, IODP Science and Technology Panel (2010–2013), US Advisory Committee for Scientific Ocean Drilling (2013–2016), and International Ocean Discovery Program Distinguished Lecturer (2017–2018). Key publications feature 'South Greenland ice-sheet collapse during Marine Isotope Stage 11' (Reyes et al., Nature, 2014), 'The Holocene retreat dynamics and stability of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland' (Jakobsson et al., Nature Communications, 2018), 'Cordilleran ice-sheet growth fueled primary productivity in the Gulf of Alaska' (Müller et al., Geology, 2018), and highly cited papers such as 'Antarctic timing of surface water changes off Chile and Patagonian ice sheet response' (Lamy et al., Science, 2004).
