Our research focuses on how biological activities impact geological and geochemical processes. We explore interactions among the Earth’s lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, and want to understand how these interactions have changed through time.

Our research falls broadly into the disciplines of geochemistry, geobiology, and geomicrobiology, as the study of the interactions between microbial life and geological and geochemical surroundings.
