We are interested in studying the natural systems which shape and guide the processes of the natural world. Our long-term goal is to identify and characterize the scientific mechanisms specific to our principal areas of research. You can read on to find out more about these projects below.

Our group has developed a variety of analytical methods for the determination of trace quantities of analytes in both atmospheric and surface water samples. These have included methods for the determination of ethanol, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide.

One of the specialties of our research team involves exploring the role of sunlight on the biogeochemistry of environmental systems. We utilize sunlight exposures during filed campaigns and simulated sunlight in controlled laboratory work. Our efforts have focused on photochemical influences on trace metal speciation and organic geochemistry.
