My research uses geochemistry to understand surface Earth processes, particularly those relating to climate, the ocean, and the carbon cycle.  Two recurring themes have been the use of past-climate to assess climate issues relevant to the future (e.g. sea level, monsoon rainfall, permafrost), and assessment of the cycles of metals in the modern ocean, including contaminants and nutrients.  Present interest includes the potential and risks of accelerating natural processes to removal CO2 from the atmosphere.
