Research Interests: Processes controlling the distribution of gases, trace metals and U-Th series radionuclides in marine and fresh water environments; ocean new and export production; aquatic surface chemistry of metal oxide phases; and diagenesis of organic matter, nutrients and gases in marine and fresh water sediments. Current active research concerns nitrogen cycling in the suboxic zone at the oxic/anoxic interface in the Black Sea and the origin of iron in the equatorial undercurrent of the equatorial Pacific.

Other Affiliations: Director of UW Program on Climate Change (PCC), Adjunct Professor of Chemistry, Steering Committee and Executive Committee of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) and US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (US JGOFS), Co-Director of Equatorial Pacific (EqPac) Process Study, Senior Fellow of the Joint Institute for Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO)
