Jordan and her team's research foci is on finding more environmentally benign ways to meet society's needs for energy using the natural laboratories of western South America and of New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia's Paleozoic strata. Ongoing projects span from geothermal energy and shale properties in the Appalachian foreland basin, to groundwater resources and tectonic uplift of the northern Chile forearc.
Jordan is engaged with students in an IGERT Training Program in Sustainable Energy Recovery from the Earth - Educational innovation at the intersection of geosciences and engineering.
Further examples of research are: Forearc uplift in Northern Chile; Marcellus shale: Relationships of primary sedimentary facies to physical and chemical properties in central New York State; probing the micromechanics of Shale under varying fluid compositions; exploration and assessment of new groundwater resources in the central depression of Chile's Antofagasta Region.
