Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works broadly in geochemistry and Earth surface processes, studying how water, ice, and sediments interact with rocks and human activities to release and transport dissolved elements like uranium and trace metals. Their work spans diverse settings, from Antarctic subglacial lakes and glaciers to rivers affected by agriculture and urbanization in Ohio and Europe, as well as some marine fisheries and sediment-mapping projects in the Gulf of Mexico. The mix of topics suggests a geochemist who collaborates across polar science, hydrology, and coastal/marine research groups.
