The Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate (PAOC) chemical oceanography group of Prof. Ed Boyle focuses on natural and anthropogenic metals in the ocean. It is a unique research lab at the forefront of its field.
Professor Boyle’s research group works on trace metals and trace metal isotope ratios in the oceans, estuaries, rivers, and ice cores. Trace metals are used as probes of the modern ocean (e.g., Pb and Fe biogeochemistry of the ocean) and as tracers of the past operation of the ocean (e.g., Cd in corals and foraminifera).
