My interests involve reactive fluid flow in all levels of the earth's crust, in both ancient and modern environments - through regional and contact metamorphism, metasomatism at mid-ocean ridges, and through weathering reactions at the earth's surface.

As fluids travel through permeable pathways in rocks, they change the surrounding mineralogy, leaving a record of their interaction. In turn, the chemistry of these fluids changes according to the duration of reaction. I apply the concepts of equilibrium thermodynamics and mass transport to these reactive fluid flow systems in order to more fully understand fluid-rock interactions under a variety of environmental conditions.
