The focus of my research is subglacial environment and quantifying the chemical weathering rates. Chemical weathering is the dissolution of rocks and minerals by chemical processes and plays a significant role in geochemical cycles that regulate Earth's climate (the silicate-carbonate cycle).

I apply the use of cosmogenic isotopes (meteoric ¹⁰Be) to study the chemical weathering rates from post-, pre-, and syn-glacial soil. This will further help in the understanding of global carbon flux over the past glacial-interglacial period.

My broad training skills include soil science, lab-based analytical techniques, biogeochemistry, isotope analysis, earth science processes, and data analysis.
