1.     Method development for non-traditional isotopes measurement using MC-ICPMS and TIMS.
2.     Geochemistry of rock-water interactions at deep ocean hydrothermal vents and its role in global geochemical budgets.
3.     Role of weathering and erosion on flux of elements to river, global biogeochemical cycle and climate.
4.     Development and application of paleoclimate proxies/tracers to better understand the deep ocean mineralization, ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, past climate.
5.     Reconstruction of seawater carbonate chemistry and atmospheric CO2 at seasonal to millennial scale.
