Some Info Research Interests: Ocean acidification and marine biomineralization – laboratory culturing studies and field studies of OA impacts on corals, shellfish, and benthic foraminifera; field studies of coastal acidification. Benthic geochemistry - pore water and solid phase studies of organic matter decomposition, calcium carbonate dissolution, and nitrogen cycling. Ocean paleochemistry – calibration studies of benthic foraminiferal shell chemistry, and isotopic and elemental estimates of changes in ocean circulation and the oceanic carbon cycle. Land-sea groundwater interactions - chemical and isotopic studies of groundwater discharge into estuaries and the coastal ocean.
