Research Interests
|
|
Joel Blum's research has contributed to knowledge of the geochemistry and environmental chemistry of metals, nutrients and climate change. Most recently he has focused on understanding the biogeochemistry of the elements mercury, lead and arsenic in atmospheric, aquatic and terrestrial systems utilizing new methods developed in his laboratory. Most notably, Blum and co-workers developed a technique for high precision measurement of mercury stable isotope ratios using inductively coupled plasma m |
