My principle research focuses on the understanding of the nature and evolution of the oceanic lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and their interaction over geologic time. His basic approach is to use the principles of stable isotope fractionation and element partitioning, in conjunction with various analytical and experimental techniques. Currently, I am working on a number of projects, including developing paleoproxies to study paleoclimate using metal isotope and element ratios, studying Mg isotope composition of terrestrial materials, studying the source and dynamics of mantle heterogeneity using oxygen isotopes, and so forth.
