Research |
My research is focused on how carbon is cycled in Earth's interior. The mains agents of carbon transport within the earth are fluids, which include aqueous fluids and silicate melts. I work in the high pressure experimental lab to constrain how much carbon these fluids are capable of mobilizing. An important part of this research is to determine how changing conditions (pressure, temperature, oxygen fugacity, dissolved solutes) affect the solubility of carbon in fluids. With the empirical constraints provided by experiments we can model the carbon fluxes in different geologic settings, and gain more insight into the global carbon cycle. |
