Isotope biogeochemistry • Chemical oceanography • Global geochemical cycles

I’m a biogeochemist and chemical oceanographer. I work on land, coastal, and open ocean systems like the Greenland Ice Sheet, Iceland, Amazon Delta, Mississippi Delta, French Guiana mobile muds, Gulf of Papua, North Atlantic and East Pacific. I like to develop and use non-traditional proxies to investigate biogeochemical cycles.
