Research interests

I use isotope geochemistry to study the carbon cycle in marine and marginal marine sediments. My research explores how the carbon cycle has varied over Earth history and in modern settings. In modern environments I also do a lot of environmental and aqueous geochemistry

Teaching Interests

I teach Earth Sciences (all years) and am the course coordinator for Quantitative Environmental Sciences (1B NST).
