Research interests
Our research group works in three main areas:
1. Examining the interaction of planetary materials with gases and the role of these processes in the evolution of planetary environments and surfaces. These studies are relevant to Greenhous Gas sequestration, reactions at and beneath volcanoes and in ore deposits, and reactions on the surface of Mars, in the early solar system, and on exoplanets.
2. Studying the effects of volatile elements, pH and oxidation/reduction on materials at high and low temperature. These studies are relevant to understanding how materials behave in the environment in the past and future.
3. Developing methods to improve the analysis of materials - especially novel techniques for analyzing light elements, multivalent elements and trace elements - to better constrain past environmental processes.
