Research Group

I’ve gained so much from my various mentors along the way, and enjoy the opportunity of being part of the mentorship process. Here’s hoping I can have even a small fraction of the influence on the following folks who work with me.

CURRENT POSTDOCS
	Dr. Richard Boyle Earth Systems Science
	Dr. Sarah Rugheimer Planetary Biosignatures Check out Sarah’s swank research website
	Dr. Mark Fox-Powell Frozen Biosignatures (starting Nov. 2016)
CURRENT PHD STUDENTS
	Colin Meetam (co-supervisor) The Neoarchean and Permo-Triassic nitrogen cycles
	Bethan Gregory Modelling atmospheric oxygen isotopes

Graduates
(If you find your name on the list and your contact info is out of date – drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you!)
