Recent Collaborators outside Caltech

Lihini Aluwihare

Lihini is a chemical oceanographer at Scripps who is collaborating with us on isotopic studies of the sources and fates of marine organic matter.

Chris Charles

Chris is a paleooceanographer at Scripps. We are working with Chris and his PhD student Lydia Roach to develop D/H records of recent climate change from Swamp Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Frank Corsetti

A sedimentologist at USC, Frank has been working recently on the proposed "Snowball Earth" events. We are collaborating on organic geochemical evidence for environmental conditions during these periods.

Konrad Hughen Konrad is a paleoclimatologist at WHOI. With his PhD student Nick Drenzek, we are been working to construct D/H records of Holocene climate change from Cariaco Basin sediments.
Gordon Love An organic geochemist, Gordon recently joined the faculty at U.C. Riverside and is collaborating with us on geochemical investigations of the Neoproterozoic Nanhua Basin in South China.
Tim Lyons Tim is a geochemist at U.C. Riverside who studies (among other things) the Proterozoic sulfur cycle. We are collaborating with he and Gordon Love on geochemical investigations of the Neoproterozoic Nanhua Basin in South China.
Gesine Mollenhauer Gesine is an organic geochemist at the University of Bremen in Germany. We are collaborating with her and PhD student Eva Niedermeyer to develop D/H records of Holocene climate change in northwestern Africa.
Adina Paytan Adina is a paleooceanographer at U.C. Santa Cruz. We are working with Adina and her PhD student Joe Street to develop D/H records of Holocene climate change from Swamp Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Ann Pearson

Another former WHOI postdoc, Ann has been developing methods for measuring rRNA on the moving wire. We've recently published a paper documenting the uptake of 13C from petroleum hydrocarbons by soil bacteria, using her RNA-capture methods.

Arndt Schimmelmann

Arndt and I have been collaborating on a variety of projects since the early days of compound-specific D/H measurements.

Roger Summons

Roger has been the driving force behind our investigations of hydrogen isotopes in petroleum.

David Valentine

David and I collaborated on an NSF project to study D/H fractionation in sulfate-reducing bacteria, as well as the distribution of hydrogen isotopes in marine sediments.
