Some Info Adam is an associate scientist in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry department. His work focuses on the marine carbon and alkalinity cycles. He received his B.S. in chemistry from Haverford College in 2009. After working for 2 years as a laboratory technician, he received his Ph.D. in Geochemistry from Caltech, working with Jess Adkins and Will Berelson (USC).
Education
2017 Ph.D. Geochemistry, California Institute of Technology
2009 B.S. Chemistry/Biochemistry, Haverford College
Research Statement
I am interested in all of the organisms that grow shells in the ocean, and how these shells participate in the global cycling of carbon. I design techniques, to be used both in the laboratory and in the field, for measuring thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the inorganic carbon cycle. A few current projects involve:
- Effectiveness and environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement as a mechanism for sequestering anthropogenic CO2
- Production and cycling of calcium carbonate in the marine environment
- Role of carbon concentrating mechanisms and their enzymes in marine phytoplankton
- Physical-chemical properties of calcium carbonate minerals
The lab is always looking for graduate students and postdocs! Please email if you would like more information about my lab and the work we do.
