I am an Isotope Geochemist who is interested in both natural and enhanced silicate rock weathering. During my PhD, I have utilized multiple isotope systems to assess how silicate rock weathering adjusted to known climate changes in the past. My current researched centers around the question if/how much we can speed up this natural CO₂ removal process to take more CO₂ out of the atmosphere. In my research, I am combining soil-, water-, and model-based approaches to quantify how much atmospheric CO₂ is removed in such enhanced weathering field trials.

In addition, I am using existing datasets to investigate and optimize some of the most critical aspects around enhanced rock weathering such as lag times between weathering and CO₂ removal, the impact of strong acid weathering, and initial weathering rates.
