James Murowchick INSTRUCTOR, ADJUNCT




    Research Description
    My research interests focus on mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry--why do minerals behave they way they do, or have certain properties. What do they tell us about the environment in which they formed--temperature, pressure, solution chemistry, etc. I am especially interested in ore minerals--metal sulfides and oxides--that formed by precipitation from hydrothermal solutions. I am also interested in the characterization and conservation of architectural stone that has deteriorated--what are the alteration products, what processes caused the deterioration, and what are the products of the alteration?

Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty member whose interests align with your interests, be sure to review the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor.

The Director of Undergraduate Research, Dr. Jane Greer., can provide you with further guidance about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.

Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can use the "Contact Details" for this project to connect with the faculty member and to begin a conversation about how you might work with that him or her.
