He measures variations in trace element concentrations and long-lived radiogenic isotopes (e.g., Pb, Nd, Sr, Hf) to investigate early earth evolution, and fractionation of non-traditional stable isotopes (e.g., Cu, Zn, Fe, Mg) to investigate low temperature geochemical and biological processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3>Past Students &amp; Postdocs:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Samantha Ewing<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/astrobio\/wordpress\/profile\/baptiste-journaux\/\" target=\"_blank\">Baptiste Journaux<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h3 id=\"at-5870\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Selected Publications<\/h3><div id=\"ac-5870\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>de Villiers S. and Nelson B.K.
