Faculty Profile

Research Description

---

My research interests focus on mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry--why do minerals behave they way they do, or have certain properties. What do they tell us about the environment in which they formed--temperature, pressure, solution chemistry, etc. I am especially interested in ore minerals--metal sulfides and oxides--that formed by precipitation from hydrothermal solutions. I am also interested in the characterization and conservation of architectural stone that has deteriorated--what are the alteration products, what processes caused the deterioration, and what are the products of the alteration?
