Global Change Geochemist

My research explores past, present, and future atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, among other ideas. 

I have shown how converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into graphite will both generate a profit and slow climate change.

I’ve explored how supercritical fluids can cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Supercritical fluids can also explain the earth’s structure, the origin of life, and supercritical water can support life in extreme environments. 

My “silica hypothesis” explains why atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 25% lower in glacial times than in interglacial times. 

My soil carbon research explains why contemporary atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing more slowly than expected.
