The Paleoenvironment Research Group is led by Dr. Huan Cui, Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Environment at Kansas State University. Together with my students and collaborators, we combine sedimentology, stratigraphy, stable isotope geochemistry, and paleontology to investigate global and planetary changes across Earth’s deep-time history. My research addresses fundamental questions about biogeochemical cycles and the processes that shape planetary habitability. By reconstructing past environments and events, we aim to improve our understanding of Earth’s long-term sustainability and its relevance to planetary systems more broadly.
