Please contact him for questions about data uploading, problems with the website, data accuracy, questions about the data model, how to install and use the PmagPy software, requests for additions to FIESTA's controlled vocabulary lists, requests for new data columns, or questions about the workshops and related videos.

Nick Jarboe joined the team in 2011. He has a Ph.D. in Earth Science from UC Santa Cruz with a thesis on the behavior of the magnetic field during the Steens reversal (16.7 Ma) and the precise dating of the reversal using the 40Ar/39Ar method on primarily plagioclase crystals from basalts.
