My research aims to understand the geochemical evolution of our planet and its environment through time. It incorporates field and lab experiments in geochemistry to quantify and explain the transfer of elements within and between the major geological reservoirs of the Earth, including its deep interior, oceans, and atmosphere. I combine state-of-the-art analytical capabilities with studies of modern and ancient volcanoes, and of the fate of metals in the environment, to constrain the elemental pathways that shape the Earth. This work explores the fundamental scientific theory underlying mantle plumes, pollutant release/mobility, mineral exploration, and ecosystem function and is critical for the development of government policies for resource extraction and environmental standards. The program has a high profile with strong international collaborations, and attracts top caliber students and researchers.

我的研究旨在随着时间的流逝了解我们地球及其环境的地球化学演变。它结合了地球化学中的现场和实验实验，以量化和解释地球主要地质储层内部和之间的元素的转移，包括其深层内部，海洋和大气。我将最新的分析能力与现代和古代火山以及环境中金属命运的研究相结合，以限制塑造地球的元素途径。这项工作探讨了基础的基础科学理论，地幔羽，污染物释放/流动性，矿物勘探和生态系统功能，对于制定资源提取和环境标准的政府政策至关重要。该计划具有备受瞩目的国际合作，并吸引了顶尖的学生和研究人员。
