Research Interests
Isotope Geochemist
Research Statement
Alex Bradley is a biogeochemist who uses the chemical traces of life to investigate the coevolution of life and the Earth. He is primarily an organic geochemist. His research focuses on understanding the relationships among organisms, environments, and the geochemical traces they produce. Current research projects involve understanding carbon cycling in hydrothermal systems, performing laboratory experiments to better understand controls on isotope fractionation, and using biological approaches to understand the nature of geochemical biomarkers from plants and microbes.
