D. L. Bish studies the composition and structure of minerals, especially using X-ray diffraction (a technique that reveals how atoms are arranged in crystals) to analyze clays, carbonates, and other geological materials. The work spans sedimentary rock formation, mineral behavior in soils, and applications to planetary science and forensics, often examining how minerals form, transform, and interact with water and carbon dioxide.
