Research Interests/Current Projects

I am interested in groundwater geochemistry and hydrogeology. Currently I am working a project utilizing stable isotope data as a calibration tool in groundwater modeling and a project linking stable isotope data and groundwater geochemistry with microbial communities in a fresh/salt water interface.
