Chlorine cycling in nature and society is another interest, including the fates of chorine in terrestrial systems to better understand both its ecological importance and how to improve the risk assessments associated with the radioactive chlorine in nuclear waste. Another focus is the formation of potentially harmful byproducts when disinfecting drinking water, and how we can map this very diverse group of compounds better to minimize human exposure.

I am interested in greenhouse gas fluxes and their regulation across scales, elemental cycling of chlorine, carbon and other nutrients, and how to generate safe drinking water. I also value method development in overall environmental research.
