Research Interests
I study environmental fate and effects of legacy and emerging contaminants. My recent research focuses on cold-temperature chemical and biogeochemical processes in the Arctic sea ice and marine environment, marine oil spill response, and the interplay between chemical contamination and climate change. Our research methodology bridges and integrates molecular-level chemical processes (supported by the Ultra-Clean Trace Elements Laboratory) with mesocosm-scale experimentations (supported by the Sea-ice Environmental Research Facility and the Churchill Marine Observatory), and field studies in the Arctic and around the world.
