Geochemical cycles on Earth: from mantle to atmosphere
C-T A Lee's research focuses on using trace element and isotopic tracers to understand
various geochemical processes. Ongoing research includes the following topics: 1)
geochemical and dynamic differentiation of the Earth's mantle and crust, 2) trace metal
cycling in oceans and the atmosphere, and 4) origin and evolution of weathering and soil
horizons.
