Profile

Support Scientist in Water Column Chemistry

Expertise

I am the senior support scientist in the Biogeochemistry and Earth Sciences Department and primarily responsible for all water column inorganic chemistry and radio-chemistry analysis conducted.

My mains areas of expertise are water column nutrient biogeochemistry and the use of naturally occurring uranium series radio-nuclides to determine particulate flux and mass accumulation rates.

I also manage the Analytical Laboratory, which houses the bulk of the Institute's chemical analytical facilities, and I manage the Radionuclide Counting Facilities Laboratory.
