Research Interests
  • Broad range of interests in biogeochemistry of glacial environments. 
  • Subglacial chemical weathering and meltwater quality analysis.  
  • Understanding the biogeochemical range of the mixing zone, where non-saline glacial meltwaters mix with saline waters, to understand how glacial retreat may be contributing to increased trace metals, increased mercury, and increased nutrient concentrations in downstream ecosystems.
