Research Interests
- Aerobic methane formation from methylphosphonate and other potential precursors (dimethyl sulphide, dissolved inorganic carbon and methylamine) in aquatic environments.
 - Microbially driven nitrous oxide production and consumption processes in the water column of oxygen minimum zones.
 - Potential for denitrification in Foraminifera.
 
Key techniques
- Stable isotope incubation experiments in the field and subsequent rate measurements.
 - Quantification of biogeochemical parameters.
 - Suite of molecular techniques.
