James A. Van Orman

Professor · College of Arts and Sciences · Case Western Reserve University

⭐ I am always interested in working with students who are curious about the internal evolution of planets (and a wide range of other topics!). Please contact me (email usually works best) to discuss current opportunities.

Research interests

My group studies planetary interiors (including our own) using a combination of experiments and modeling, constrained by observations. Recent and current research topics include the role of volatiles in the formation and evolution of the Moon; the chemical evolution of planetary cores; isotope fractionation in magmatic processes; diffusion in mantle, core and crustal minerals; chemical processes in Earth's core-mantle boundary region; and the sequence and timing of events leading up to the planet-building stage in the early solar system.
