I will be interning with the Apache Corporation in Tulsa, OK.
Geochemistry is at the base of all my research interests, especially how it applies to the environment. I like to learn how different things interact and determine patterns and trends in order to understand the causes, effects, and solutions to different environmental issues.
I am working with Katherine Romanak to investigate and monitor the geochemistry of near surface sediments above the carbon sequestration site at Cranfield, MS. My thesis will focus on the gas-sediment-water interactions and the resulting geochemical alterations.
I began working on my Master's degree at UT in the fall of 2010 focusing on paleoclimatology and isotope geochemistry. Towards the end of my first year, I decided I want to focus on issue that has relevancy to today's society and switched into the GCCC group to look into the geochemical effects of carbon sequestration.
