Outreach

Several members of the NIRVANA Labs are in New Haven, Connecticut, for the 2024 edition of the Northeast Geobiology Symposium, which is being hosted by Yale University. Ichiko Sugiyama has a 09:15 oral presentation, while Margot Debyser and Iulia Streanga are both presenting in the first poster session: Debyser, M.C.F., M.A. Charette, P. Henderson, and…

Several team members from the NIRVANA Labs are presenting their research at the 2022 Goldschmidt Conference in Honolulu HI this week, including: East Greenland’s rising impact on the marine silicon cycle constrained by silicon isotopes, presented by Georgi Laukert (Monday 11th, 11:15 HST) Barium isotope fractionation during ion exchange at the barite-fluid interface: Implications for…

Öykü Mete is at the Northeastern Geobiology Symposium presenting her research looking at the marine distribution of barium (Poster Session #1). Poster info: Mete, Ö.Z., H.H. Kim, A.G. Dunlea, A.V. Subhas, and T.J. Horner (2022). Dissolved distribution of barium in seawater and its relationship to silicon.  

We are looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Investigator to join the team to study the cycling of radium and/or barium isotopes in the Southern Ocean as part of GEOTRACES GP17. The initial appointment would be for 18 months with the possibility of renewal for a further 18 months. Review of applications will begin on February…
