Professional Bio

I have been interested in biogeochemical cycling since college when I studied the annual cycle of nutrient dynamics in the Lehigh River. I now concentrate on trace element cycling in the ocean with an emphasis on the atmospheric deposition of crustal and anthropogenic aerosols. This pathway can introduce nutrients and contaminants to the open ocean with important ramifications for the life found there. I have sampled in all of the major ocean basins and continue to puzzle over what factors influence aerosol dissolution processes.

Personal Interests

My Research Interests

(1) The transport of biologically important elements to the oceans and estuaries via aerosols
(2) The processes in the atmosphere controlling aerosol elemental solubility and metal speciation in rainwater and seawater
(3) The fate of aerosol derived trace elements and nutrients in aquatic and marine systems
(4) The distribution of dissolved and particulate trace metals in marine systems
