My research interests are marine biogeochemistry and sedi-mentology, with specific focus on geochemical particle fluxes, particle aggregation, and remineralization processes, and the resultant formation of sediment. I was one of those weird kids who always wanted to do just one thing and one thing only when I grew up-study the ocean. This probably resulted from a Southern California childhood, numerous visits to the submarine ride at Disney Land, a steady diet of National Geographic magazines and Jacques Cousteau specials in the 1960s, and parents who always encouraged and never said that "science wasn't for girls"-although I was told this a number of times after I got to graduate school (which I obviously ignored).
