Current Projects

	Fe oxidation in Microbial Mats	What is the chemistry and mineralogy of biogenic Fe oxyhydroxides in microbial mats? And how are they preserved in the rock record?
	Mineralogy & Seafloor Microbiology	How do the microbial communities that colonize seafloor rocks change with mineralogy of their host rock?
	Rock-Seawater Reactions	Can we take a "picture" of a rock's chemistry and find "homes" of microbes?
	Mineralogy & Seafloor Alteration	How do the products of rock-seawater-microbe interactions change with mineralogy?
	Education & Outreach	I am a HUGE supporter of bringing cutting edge science into the classroom and beyond! **Join us for a ship-to-classroom interaction starting April 9th!**
