RESEARCH INTEREST
Use of multi-tracer (e.g. Ra isotopes, rare earth elements) to study processes of chemical oceanography:
(1) Submarine groundwater discharge and its impact on the coastal ocean carbon cycle and budget.
(2) Biogeochemistry of carbonate system (total CO2, alkalinity, and pH) nutrients, and trace elements in the subterranean/surface estuary.
(3) Categorize and quantify water mass source and material transport.
