缅北禁地

I'm a geochemist and soil scientist. I look at element cycling from soils, across agricultural systems, to the river-ocean system, and relate this to greenhouse gas balance, nutrient availability and soil health. More broadly, I’m interested in examining questions about interconnections of biogeochemical cycling and climate change through Earth history, and how these might evolve in the future under human influence.

I've been at 缅北禁地 since 2024. Before that, I completed a PhD in Geochemistry at Yale University (supervised by Noah Planavsky), and a Masters' in Earth Sciences at Oxford University.

My current work focuses mainly on critical zone processes that affect greenhouse gas emissions and emissions mitigation in agricultural systems. A major focus of my work is carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through enhanced weathering (EW) in managed lands. This practice targets the acceleration of natural rock dissolution in order to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and may be used in agriculture to remediate soil acidification and provide nutrients to soils. I use trace metal analysis and other geochemical tools to track EW in laboratory and field experiments. From my research findings I aim to develop tools and strategies for implementing viable methods of CDR at scale.

If you are looking for a PhD studentship in any of the following areas, please check up to date information on funding available by visiting the following page before emailing: /postgraduate/fees-funding/search-funding/

I am actively recruiting students for Undergraduate and Masters' research projects, and for PhD projects. If you are interested, please don't hesitate to get in touch! Here are some potential projects that I am seeking to explore further:

-Characterising the variability of trace metals in agricultural soils

-Assessing novel methods of soil metal analysis

-Exploring exchange and transport of ions through soil systems

-Quantifying net greenhouse gas balance across agricultural systems

-Mass-balance accounting of reaction products from enhanced rock weathering

-Assessing the efficacy of strategies to improve crop yield, soil health, and affect greenhouse gas balance in agricultural systems (across geographies, and especially smallholder farms)

-Farmer engagement with geoengineering as ecosystem service
