Research
Current Areas:
Carey Gazis arrived at CWU in September 1997 and is interested
in the geochemistry of fluid-rock interaction in the Earth's crust,
ranging from the role of fluids in chemical weathering of rocks
on the Earth's surface to the effects of fluids on igneous and
metamorphic rocks deep in the crust.
She is currently involved
in two research projects related to the geochemistry of Earth
surface waters and soils: 1) A stable isotope study of H2O and
CO2 in soils; and 2) A study of Indus River chemistry and chemical
weathering in the NW Himalayas.
In the past few years, she has also been one of several geochemists involved in a multidisciplinary
study of the Nanga
Parbat-Haramosh Massif of the northwestern Himalayas, Pakistan.
This project is aimed at understanding processes responsible for
an recent and still-active episode of very young high-grade metamorphism,
partial melting, and rapid denudation around the center of Nanga
Parbat.
Teaching and Schedule
Courses
Dr. Gazis teaches undergraduate non-major courses in Environmental Studies and Environmental
Geology as well as upper-level undergraduate/ graduate level courses in Hydrogeology, Environmental Geochemistry
and Isotope Geochemistry.
