Research

My research focuses on quantifying and understanding low-temperature geochemical processes using sensitive major and trace element analytical techniques in conjunction with radiogenic and stable isotope measurements.

Specific interests include:

• Mineral weathering and its impact on local and global cycles
• The Great Unconformity and soils at the PC-C boundary
• Mercury photochemistry in freshwater environments
• Mercury emission from surfaces of waterbodies, plants, and sediments
• Fate and transport of toxic trace metals in groundwater
• Metal speciation and adsorption/desorption on natural and synthetic materials
• Biotic controls on metal transformations
• Use of GIS techniques to address geochemical problems
• Advancement of analytical methods in geochemistry.
