Gender Male

Occupation isotope geochemist
Location Washington DC area, United States
Introduction I've worked as a coal researcher, a digital cartographer, a pizza deliverer, a butcher, a meteoriticist, and a geologist. I now perform radioanalytical measurements in the Washington DC area. I use stable, radiogenic, and radioactive isotopes of elements to create standards that can be used answer questions about a material. One common question that this work can answer is "How old is this stuff?"
Interests nuclear forensics, isotope geochemistry, meteorites, planetary geology, writing
