- Associate Professor of Geology, Iowa State University
I am a biogeochemist with expertise in anoxic aquatic systems. I study microbial processes that transform inorganic chemical species, particularly metals such as iron. I am interested in the rise of oxygen on Earth, and photosynthetic organisms that drove environmental evolution.
