Biography

Goldstein received his B.A. from Columbia College in 1976, M.A. from Harvard University in 1978, and Ph.D. from Columbia in 1986.[2] He worked at the University of Cambridge as a research assistant from 1984 to 1985 and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz as a staff scientist from 1985 to 1996 before joining the Columbia faculty in 1996.[1]

Goldstein's research revolves around the use of products of natural radioactive decay to determine the absolute age and timing of natural processes ranging from magmatic processes to ocean circulation.[3]

Goldstein served as the editor-in-chief of the journal Chemical Geology.[3] He is also a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Geochemical Society.[4] In 2018, he received the Norman L. Bowen Award from the AGU in recognition of "outstanding contributions to the fields of volcanology, geochemistry, and petrology."[5]
