Phosphate oxygen isotope: A proxy to link carbon capture and biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus in agricultural soils

I am an isotope biogeochemist interested in the transformation and cycling of phosphorus in natural systems. As a postdoctoral researcher at the YCNCC, my research focus is to determine the bioavailability and speciation of phosphorus released from enhanced mineral weathering in agricultural soils. I aim to utilize phosphate oxygen isotopes to differentiate between phosphorus sources and to determine the rate phosphorus becomes bioavailable in cropland soils. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Delaware from the department of Plant and Soil Sciences on isotope effects during hydrolysis of glyphosate and other organic phosphorus compounds.
