David Coblentz received the BA degree in physics/earth science with a German literature minor in 1985 from the University of California at San Diego, the MS degree in geophysics in 1988 from Boston College, and the PhD degree in geophysics in 1994 from the University of Arizona. He is a solid earth geophysicist with a joint appointment at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of New Mexico who, through speculative geodynamics research, seeks the common ground between plate tectonics and geoecology. His research interests include solid-earth geophysics, geodynamics, geoecology, and biogeography.
