About Us

Our group uses thermodynamic principles to assess the fate and transport of natural and anthropogenic compounds  in the environment including:

  • alkalinity and acidification in coastal systems
  • air-sea gas transfer (bubbles & sea spray)
  • carbon and nitrogen geochemistry
  • emerging contaminants in coastal and far-shore environments
  • chemical samplers and sensors (sulfate and contaminant samplers)
