I am a metamorphic petrologist and aqueous geochemist interested in fluid-rock reactions and their implications for chemical, physical, and biological processes. The interactions of seawater and hydrothermal fluids with rocks from the oceanic crust and upper mantle play a key role in global geochemical cycles, plate tectonics, and the microbial habitability of the sub-seafloor. During the cruise I will examine altered rocks and hope to learn more about the hydrothermal processes they have recorded.
