DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCES

My overall interest lies in advancing scientific knowledge of carbon dioxide removal through natural processes and improving public understanding of the environmental policies that govern the science. I am fascinated by the intersection of science with business and government to get such projects implemented on a global scale to combat climate change. My area of research will generally focus on carbon dioxide removal through a geochemical process, enhanced rock weathering (ERW), using stable calcium isotopes to measure the amount of carbon captured in the ground.
