Research Interest
My research group is interested in organic chemicals in the environment. We quantify these chemicals in soils, sediment, fish, macroinvertebrates, plants, water, and air. We aim to understand how these chemicals move around in the environment, what we can learn from them, and what their impacts might be. For this research, we primarily focus on current-use pesticides, brominated flame retardants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and persistent organic pollutants. To better understand the fate of these chemicals, we conduct field work (often in remote locations), perform laboratory experiments (e.g. measurement of partition coefficients), and use chemical fate models. We also quantify organic biomarkers, such as alkanes and alkenones, in marine and lake sediments and by working with paleogeologists, use these chemicals to gain information about past climates.
