Current research and/or projects
My primary interest is in the importance of marine biogeochemical cycling of inorganics to global change and planetary evolution. Currently, my work is focussed on marine carbon cycling and transport in Arctic waters and their importance in the global carbon cycle and the influence of sea ice and organic microlayers on air-sea exchange. Past projects have also included: marine particle cycling, using 234Th:238U disequilibria; long-range carbon transport with ocean circulation; chemical environmental effects of deep ocean industrial carbon dioxide sequestration; and analytical technique development to determine the extent of transition metal complexation by organics in seawater.
