William Gilhooly studies the geochemistry of sulfur, iron, and carbon cycling in oceans, lakes, and sediments, using isotopes and other chemical tracers to understand both past and present environments. Recent work explores how microbes and viruses shape these chemical cycles, including in lakes that serve as analogs for the low-oxygen oceans of the early Earth, as well as reconstructing ancient climate and ocean conditions from rocks and sediments recovered by deep-sea drilling expeditions.

Publication activity has been steady across the decade with a large spike in 2024 driven by ocean-drilling expedition reports.
