Organic and Isotope GeochemistryThe complex mixture of organic molecules in streams and rivers holds clues about a wide variety of natural and human processes occurring within watersheds. By determining the identity and origin of these molecules, the scientists in this laboratory can both expand scientific understanding of natural cycles of energy (carbon) and nutrients within the ecosystem and inform decision-makers about the sources and impact of human contamination on water quality.Department listing Dr. Anthony K.

STEPHANIE A. DIX![]() Geochemist, Level III, 2006 to present. Education:B.S. in Biology, concentration in Marine Biology, Millersville University, 2005. Stephanie is the lab manager for the Organic Geochemistry group. She is in charge of operating and maintaining analytical instrumentation, which includes an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) coupled with an elemental analyzer and dissolved organic carbon analyzer to measure stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. The IRMS is also coupled with a GasBench II to measure isotopes of dissolved gases (N20, CO2, N2, O2, and Ar). She also maintains and operates a surface area analyzer to measure the surface area of soils, and a Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer. Stephanie manages field sampling trips, interns, and sample processing for the organic geochemistry lab. LINDA CARTER, Ph.D.![]() Research Associate, 2006 to present. Education:Ph.D. University of Illinois, Organic Chemistry Linda oversees and assists with projects involving the use of molecular tracers to identify potential contamination sources in stream water and other media. She operates and maintains the Agilent GCMS and related software. Linda oversees the operation of the organic chemistry laboratory. |
