Gabriel J. Bowen studies the chemistry of water and the environment using stable isotopes (naturally occurring variants of atoms like oxygen, hydrogen, and strontium) to trace how water and materials move through ecosystems, climates, and living organisms. His work spans topics such as tracking ancient climates from soil and groundwater, mapping isotope patterns in plants, animals, and human tissue, and applying these tools to fields like forensic science, paleoclimate reconstruction, and wildlife migration studies. Students in this area would likely engage with isotope geochemistry methods, environmental data analysis, and interdisciplinary applications connecting earth science to biology and forensics.
