Radiogenic and Stable Metal Isotope Geochemistry

Research in my group primarily involves application of radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry of metals, major- and trace-element geochemistry, mineralogy and petrology as well as imaging techniques to different aspects of Earth and planetary sciences, including impact cratering and planetary processes, origin and evolution of Earth’s mantle and crust, weathering and water chemistry as well as deep-time paleoclimate studies. Based on the specific problem in hand, we develop novel proxies and use isotope ratios of relevant elements as tracers.
