Research interests
The cycling of bio-essential trace metals in the marine environment
Trace metal biogeochemistry: I am interested in the distribution of trace elements (particularly bio-essential elements such as iron and cobalt) in the ocean, both in the dissolved phase and from oceanic particulate material.
Analytical chemistry: I am very interested in developing and using analytical techniques which allow for the determination of multiple elements from one sample.
