Research Interest
Early diagenesis of sediments in environments ranging from salt marshes to the deep basins in the Arctic Ocean. My research focuses on redox chemistry but is relevant to any element whose distribution in sediments is in some way related to the carbon cycle. They include major elements such as Fe and Mn, nutrient elements such as N, P, and Si, and trace elements such as Cd, Mo, U, and Re. The interactions between living organisms (bacteria, animals and plants) and sediments receive special attention.
