Kiro Lab

Coastal & Submarine
environments across scales

Research

Earth Sciences and geochemistry provide powerful tools to explore the processes that shape our planet. At Kiro Lab, we focus on studying the chemistry of the ocean and past environments to understand fundamental Earth system processes, such as the carbon cycle and climate dynamics. This understanding helps us to better interpret the natural variability of the Earth system and provides valuable insights into how we might respond to future climate change.

In our group, we explore the interplay between coastal and submarine environments, exploring their dynamics across diverse spatial and temporal scales. Our research aims to unravel the fundamental processes governing these environments, providing critical insights into their role in shaping our planet's past, present, and future.
