About Zeb

F. Zeb Page is Professor of Geosciences at Oberlin College and Conservatory, a position he has held since July 2007. He earned a BA from Macalester College in 1999, an MS from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2001, and a PhD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2005. Prior to joining Oberlin, Page worked at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Geoscience from May 2005 to June 2007. As a geochemist and metamorphic petrologist, he emphasizes undergraduate teaching and research, utilizing in situ electron- and ion-beam techniques to analyze mineral chemistry in the textural context of host rocks. His research employs high-pressure metamorphic eclogite to probe subduction zone histories, examining mineral compositions, oxygen isotope ratios, uranium-lead isotopes in garnet, zircon, and other minerals. Page also studies oxygen diffusion through zircon and garnet, and trace elements in minerals as thermometers.
