The carbon cycle of planets is fundamentally controlled by mineral reactions.
Through a combination of field methods, proxies, and quantitative models, I investigate the local and global mechanisms that modulate and stabilise climate. Specifically, I study the formation and breakdown of carbon-bearing minerals across a variety of surface and deep environments. These reactions are the focus of recent carbon sequestration efforts as scientists look for nature-inspired solutions to anthropogenic warming. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (part of Columbia University).
If that sounds interesting, I'm always looking for conversations and collaborators. Get in touch!
