Andrew Jacobson utilizes the elemental
and isotopic chemistry of natural waters, soils, and
bedrock to trace the spatial and temporal evolution
of low-temperature geochemical processes. Currently,
his research is examining tectonic controls on global-scale
biogeochemical cycles and mechanisms governing the fate
and transport of U-Th series nuclides in carbonate groundwater
systems.
 Matthew Hurtgen couples studies of modern and ancient Earth-surface
systems to investigate the mechanisms and environmental forcings controlling the distribution of chemical species within marine, lacustrine and terrestrial settings. In modern systems, he has focused on syngenetic (water-column) and early diagenetic cycling of carbon, sulfur, and iron in oxygen-deficient (anoxic) marine basins--including the Orca Basin (an intraslope brine pool in the northern Gulf of Mexico) and Effingham Inlet (a fjord on the west coast of Vancouver Island). Current interests include the behavior of the oxygen isotope composition of sulfate in a variety of modern environments.
