Conway’s research group aims to understand the geochemistry of trace metals in the marine and earth system and the role they play as micronutrients and/or toxins in marine biogeochemical cycles, with effects on the global carbon cycle. The group employs techniques including measurement of trace metal isotope ratios and concentrations in a range of materials including aerosol dust, rocks, sediments rain, seawater, ice-cores, marine particles and biological materials. The group aims to shed light on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in the modern ocean and is interested in developing and applying isotopic tracers as proxies for oceanic processes in the geological past.
