Elements Executive Committee

ABOUT THE COMMITTEE

The Executive Committee is responsible for the management of Elements.

The Executive Committee:

  • provides the financial oversight for Elements and approves the annual budget and cost allocation to the Participating Societies;
  • provides timely information to the appropriate officers, committees and staff of the Participating Societies;
  • approves the appointments of the Principal Editors and Executive Editor of Elements.

The Executive Committee consists of members (one per Participating Society) are appointed by their respective Participating Society. The Participating Societies are responsible for the selection of their representative on the Executive Committee.  Affiliated Organizations do not have membership on the Executive Committee.

Research Interests

I study how interactions between water, rocks, and gases affect life on Earth and Mars. To do this, I bring together techniques from the fields of hydrogeology, geochemistry, and mineralogy. Primary research projects currently include developing electrochemical CO2 capture and basalt carbonation as climate change solutions and interpreting the geologic history of Mars as recorded in the sediments of Gale Crater, often with help from studies of analogous systems here on Earth.
