Kevin D. Webster conducts research spanning environmental science and planetary science, studying how methane moves through natural systems such as Amazonian soils and underground cave environments, as well as geologic and climatic processes on Earth and other bodies in the solar system. His planetary work includes analyzing eruptive activity on Saturn's moon Enceladus, the surfaces of Mars and Mercury, and questions related to the search for life beyond Earth. He also examines regional environmental issues such as uranium in water on the Colorado Plateau and the Navajo Nation.
