Research Interests

Primary Research Focus: My expertise lies in understandingÌýanthropogenic perturbations to the marine carbon cycleÌý(i.e., ocean acidification) and the resultant mineralogical/crystallographic changes that occur inÌýcalcareous organisms'Ìýtests and skeletons (most predominantly changes occurring inÌýstony coral skeletons).

General Areas of Interest: Raman spectroscopy; Calcium carbonate geochemistry; Chemical oceanography; Ocean acidification; Biomineralization; Geochronology
