Isotope Geochemistry, Paleoclimate, Critical Zone Biogeochemistry, Antarctic lakes

  • Application of traditional (Sr and Nd) and non-traditional Isotopes (δ30Si, δ34S, Δ33S, δ87Rb, δ7Li) systematics to study low temperature earth surface and subsurface processes.
  • Understanding biogeochemical processes and nutrient cycling in the critical zones of varied climatic regimes.
  • Paleoclimate reconstructions in tropical and Antarctic lakes sediments using trace elements and stable isotope proxies (δ13C and δ15N).
  • Antarctic lake biogeochemistry
