My research has focused on the biogeochemistry of organic matter in rivers, lakes, estuarine salt marshes, and coastal and open ocean areas. Lipid biomarkers provide a link between biological sources of organic matter and organic compounds preserved in sediments. Molecular biomarkers and their isotopic compositions are used to trace processes that produce, transport, and alter and preserve organic matter in water columns and sediments. Understanding the behavior of organic substances in aquatic environments is vital because organic matter is intimately involved in life processes on Earth now and in the past.
