Research Interests: Calibrating the rates of biologic evolution. Constraining the early history of the earth. The use of U-Pb systematics in accessory minerals to understand the thermal history of orogenic belts. Investigating the isotopic composition of Pb, Sr, and U in natural waters, including the Sr isotopic composition of seawater over the last 40,000 years. The isotope geochemistry of Pb, Sr, and U in waters and soils to monitor the effects of acid rain. Understanding the development of early Proterozoic orogenic belts and the evolution of Archean greenstone belts.
