| Abstract | This project will allow a mid-career scientist to learn cutting-edge geochemical methodologies related to Selenium (Se) isotope geochemistry. These methods will be used to investigate the geochemistry of Se in recent sediments and their potential as an archive to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions. While most paleo-redox work has focused on organic shales as an archive, carbonate rocks are more common in the geologic record, are often continuous over long time periods, and are widespread |
