ABOUT US
We employ nontraditional stable metal isotopes such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and strontium (Sr) in geologic systems as a new important tracer of variations in its cycling on various time scales, to add constraints to models of biomineralization, and to investigate early diagenesis and lithification along with more traditional proxies.
​
Much of Dr. Liz Griffith's research has focused on marine barite, which is useful as a recorder of isotopic and elemental changes in seawater chemistry through time and as a proxy for export production in the ocean especially valuable during periods of ocean acidification and extreme climate change.
