Currently I’m involved in several major research projects, and each of these offer opportunities for student involvement, either in the summer or during the school year. These projects include:
 | Ireland—examining the paleohydrogeology of western Ireland, in order to reconstruct the climate of the Holocene. |
 | Michigan basin—studying how microbes have produced economic quantities of methane from 350ma old Devonian black shale. |
 | St. Lucia—assessing the microbiology and geochemistry of hydrothermal springs; and to examine early marine diagenesis. |
