Collaborators

An alphabetical list of other scientists with whom I have ongoing research collaborations.

  • 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 worked on the proposed "Snowball Earth" events. We have collaborated on organic geochemical evidence for environmental conditions during these periods.
  • Gordon Love
    An organic geochemist at U.C. Riverside, Gordon 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 who is collaborating with us on studies of the Neoproterozoic, as well as modern S cycling in the Cariaco Basin
  • Dianne Newman
    Dianne is a molecular biochemist and geobiologist at Caltech. We have been collaborating on studies of the distribution and function of 2-methylhopanoids in photosynthetic bacteria.
  • Arndt Schimmelmann
    Arndt and I have been collaborating on a variety of projects since the early days of compound-specific D/H measurements. Current efforts include isotopic measurements of marine POM, kerogens, and development of D-enriched standards.
  • John Spear
    John Spear is a microbial ecologist at Colorado School of Mines. We have been working with him on microbial mats in Yellowstone National Park.
  • Roger Summons
    Roger has been the driving force behind our investigations of hydrogen isotopes in petroleum. More recently, we have been working on 2-methylhopanoids and on compound-specific S isotopes in oils.
  • 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.
