I am motivated by a desire to understand how ecosystems respond to human perturbations
of elemental cycles, which I explore from the perspective of microorganismal interactions
with their chemical environment under three main themes:
- mercury mobility and bioavailability in aquatic ecosystems focusing on pathways to human exposure
- integrative ecological responses to altered growth conditions with implications for marine carbon cycling and mercury bioaccumulation
- environmental remediation, in particular exploring marine carbon capture techniques through incubation experiments.
- Mercury Biogeochemistry
- Trace Metal Biogeochemistry
- Chemical Oceanography
- Marine Particle Stoichiometry
