We investigate the formation and evolution of the Earth and the Solar System using the chemical and isotopic information held in rocks, meteorites, the oceans and their sediments.

The Isotope Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry group encompasses three research teams that use fundamental chemical and isotopic techniques to understand natural processes on a range of temporal and spatial scales, including the formation of the Solar System and its planets and the evolution of the ocean chemistry and the weathering processes on Earth.
