I am an isotope geochemist studying the cycling of elements in the Earth’s 'critical zone'. To understand the complex interactions between rock, water, soil, air and organisms I study rivers in the Himalayan mountains and Ganges floodplain, which form some of the largest continental conveyor belts of nutrients and sediments to the ocean.To decipher the processes controlling the river chemistry I use a combination of non-traditional stable isotopes (Li, Mg and Ni) and reactive transport modelling
