Research interests
My research focuses on investigating critical zone processes of environmental change through geochemistry. This includes understanding spatial and temporal variability recorded in various atmospheric, biologic and hydrologic materials using modeling and isotopic tracers. All aspects of my research focus on determining environmental and/or climatic change impacts over time.
