Virtual Geology Colloquium- Dr. Dalton Hardisty
Description
Our last speaker this spring semester is Dr. Dalton S. Hardisty from the Earth and Environmental Science Department at Michigan State University,
and he will be talking about: "Iodine cycling in modern and ancient marine oxygen minimum zones".
Briefly: Iodine is a redox-sensitive element and its abundance in sedimentary rocks is used as a paleoredox proxy, but constraints on the rates and mechanisms of iodine cycling in modern marine settings remain limiting.
Dr. Dalton Hardisty’s investigates how ocean chemistry and biology co-evolved throughout Earth history. This includes a major focus on constraining the initial accumulation and proliferation of oxygen in our atmosphere and oceans.
