Research Interest
Dr. Hammerschmidt's research is focused on developing a quantitative understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical mechanisms and processes that affect the transport, transformation, and fate of mercury and other trace metals in watersheds, coastal and pelagic marine systems, and the atmosphere. On-going projects include the following: Experiments Measuring Bioavailability in Oxic and Spiked Sediments (EMBOSS) GEOTRACES Arctic Section: Mercury Speciation and Cycling in the Arctic Ocean Benthic Phosphorus Fluxes in the Lower Great Miami River Watershed, southwest Ohio Mercury Biogeochemistry on the Continental Shelf and Slope GEOTRACES Pacific Section: Mercury Speciation Along a Zonal Section in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific Ocean
