Dr. John Baumgardner

Upon completing his Ph.D. in geophysics and space physics, Dr. John Baumgardner accepted a position as a staff scientist in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he has continued his research in planetary mantle dynamics, including the potential for catastrophic mantle overturn. He has presented papers describing this mechanism for the Genesis Flood, now known as 'catastrophic plate tectonics,' at three International Conferences on Creationism held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Baumgardner is currently a full-time faculty member of the Institute for Creation Research. Dr. Baumgardner's past technical work at Los Alamos included the development of a new global ocean model for investigating climate change.
