Current Research

My interest is in the behavior of trace metals across the boundary between the atmosphere, ocean, and solid earth, and the associated changes in biogeochemical cycles, as well as the effects of human activities. In particular, I am focusing on the behavior of iron (Fe) between the atmosphere and ocean, which has a significant impact on biological production in the ocean surface. My research is mainly based on observations on land and sea, and stable isotope analysis, and speciation analysis using x-ray spectroscopic analysis.
