He is interested in a variety of topics including: "anything that relates to the 'co-evolution of life and the planet', which encompasses quite a lot! So that could be a broad theme. If you would prefer to narrow it down further with some specific ideas, then: Earth's oxygenation history, Deep Earth/tectonic controls on planetary habitability (not something I have directly worked on, but I'm very interested in further exploring possibilities), controls on the initiation, maintenance and termination of oceanic anoxic events, mineral and redox controls on nutrient cycling, and more... " If you have interest in any of those topics, please bring a slide or two to share. - Fri Jul 11 (room reservation 14:00 JST [=UTC+09:00]), ELSI-1 207 Seminar Room B [Study Group] Metabolism Hour [Reading Group] Weekly meeting where we discuss... you guessed it: metabolism.
