Research
Dr. Jones is interested in using light to obtain chemical, spatial, and temporal information that illuminates the behavior of complex systems. She is specifically intrigued by the interactions of microplastics with environmental systems. How are the kinetics, mechanisms, and products of the degradation, uptake, and leaching reactions typical of such polymeric materials affected by the presence of dissolved organic matter and sediment? Let's take some measurements and find out!
