Congratulations to Niels Hauksson for successfully defending his thesis and earning his doctoral degree! He is now Postdoc Hauksson in our group!

Sheila Griffin is archiving our coral collection to be sent to the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The collection will be made available to researchers for future generations!

We welcome our new lab member, ESS undergrad Taylor Hart, into our group!

Our Research Lab focuses on the cycling of marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and why it is thousands of 14C years old, despite evidence that most of it is produced in the surface ocean during photosynthesis of modern carbon. An ancient component of marine DOC is black carbon, produced by combustion of fossil fuels and biomass on land. We are studying black carbon abundance and 14C, and other components of DOC, and how they cycle through the ocean.
