Mineral-Brine Interactions- Chemical Weathering on Salty Worlds
By measuring reaction rates and examining the products in high salinity systems, we can learn more about Mars and Ceres, as well as sustainable mining practices, carbon sequestration, and hydrogen production on Earth.
Raman Spectroscopy in Planetary Science
How can we use Raman Spectroscopy to study minerals, rocks, ices, and fluids throughout the Solar System?
Clathrate Hydrates Across the Solar System
We use experiments and models to study how clathrate hydrates form and understand how they affect planetary processes.
Chemical Weathering in Fluvial Sediments
How does climate affect chemical weathering observed in fluvial sediments across the Earth? Can we use chemical weathering indices to interpret climate in siliciclastic fluvial sediments?
Jarosite and Hematite- Implications for Earth and Mars
By studying jarosite dissolution rates and reaction products in the laboratory, we can constrain how long water was active on the surface of Mars and help remediate mine waste on Earth.
