Welcome to the web space of Professor Chris Fedo.

I hold the McSween Chair of Earth & Planetary Sciences in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at The University of Tennessee.

My research is focused on problems in understanding: (1) Interpreting paleoenvironments and developing sequence stratigraphy in sedimentary basins, (2) problems with sedimentary environments and composition of martian stratigraphic successions, (3) siliciclastic petrogenesis including provenance analysis, chemical weathering, sorting, and diagenesis, and (4) sedimentologic, structural, metasomatic, and metamorphic problems in Archean greenstone belts. Within this web space you can find links that navigate to my research interests, students doing research with me, representative publications, information about courses I teach, and news about recent goings on in the lab. If you would like to find out more about joining my group, please send me an email or call using the provided contact information below. You can also reach out to me from the contact tab in the menu bar. I look forward to hearing from you!
