Research Emphasis: 

Photochemical reactions and their effect on aquatic carbon cycles; distribution of trace carbon gases, alteration of aquatic humic substances, and relation to optics and biological processes

Fluxes of trace gases and their significance to global warming, biogeochemical feedbacks and climate change

Trace element and trace metal redox chemistry, processes controlling chemical distributions and biological utilization

Kinetic modeling of observed chemical disequilibria; integration of thermodynamic and kinetic models for natural waters

Development of novel analytical methods for the evaluation of photochemical and redox reactions at environmental concentrations
