Stable isotope geochemistry, oceans, water rock interaction, paleoclimate
Dr. Karlis Muehlenbachs specializes in using stable isotope variation in many aspects of geochemistry, e.g. history of seawater, isotopic paleoclimate proxies, oxygen diffusion in minerals, contamination of groundwater by natural gas, and in-situ steam-assisted heavy oil extraction
The physical environment of Alberta. Regional variation in the patterns of climate, landforms, water, soils, vegetation and wildlife; the geographic synthesis of these patterns to give a broad understanding and appreciation of the province and its environmental problems.
