Researcher biography
I am a geochemist working for the Radiogenic Isotope Facility within the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Queensland. I am currently interested in radiogenic isotope and trace element chemistry for paleoclimate and paleoenvironment studies. My work involves development and application of analytical techniques for projects of the RIF clients.
