Research Interests

My research has enveloped the effects of changing water chemistry and temperatures on geochemical, isotopic and metabolic signatures in the context of past, present and future climate change. At KAUST, my work focuses on carbonate chemistry and its relationship with biological processes, particularly seagrasses.
