Research

Radioisotope Geochemistry Lab (RGL)'s  primary research interests encompass a broad range of topics within marine and environmental sciences. RGL is particularly focused on the biological pump and particle dynamics, investigating how organic and inorganic particles are transported and transformed in the ocean. A key aspect of RGL research involves the use of artificial and natural radioisotopes as tracers to study marine and environmental processes, including carbon export, biogeochemical cycling, and sediment transport.

Additionally, RGL explores sediment geochemistry and the chemical interactions at the sediment-water interface, examining how geochemical processes regulate the exchange of nutrients, metals, and carbon between sediments and overlying waters. RGL's work also extends to understanding climate change and its impacts on oceanic and coastal systems, with a particular interest in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sequestration strategies aimed at mitigating rising atmospheric CO₂ levels.

Under the Research tab, you will find a selection of projects Dr Bam has been involved in, highlighting contributions to these critical areas of environmental and marine science.
