Research

My research explores mechanisms of water-rock interactions and their applications to element cycles and environmental issues such as climate change and sustainable resource management. My group uses experimental approaches and geochemical and isotopic analyses coupled with field data and geochemical models to assess the impacts of natural and human perturbation of the Earth’s shallow subsurface, and to harness rock-water reactions for environmental benefits, like CO2 capture and storage by carbon mineralization.

My current research program investigates several topics linked through the common theme of environmental implications of rock-water reactions. My current major research themes include:

  1. CO2 capture and storage by carbon mineralization for climate change mitigation,
  2. Mechanisms of gas-driven mineral weathering reactions in the unsaturated zone at the Earth’s surface.
  3. Mechanisms of isotope exchange during water-rock interaction and their implications for interpreting stable isotope compositions.
