Biography

Rachael James is a professor specializing in Geochemistry at the University of Southampton. Her research focuses on the development and application of novel chemical isotopic techniques for improving the understanding of ocean and earth processes that address critical environmental and societal challenges. She is particularly interested in methods for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to mitigate global warming effects. Rachael is involved in field trials for CO2 removal through enhanced rock weathering and mineral carbonation, along with methodologies for monitoring and verifying potential leakage at sub-seafloor CO2 storage sites. Additionally, she specializes in non-traditional isotope techniques to study biogeochemical cycles, particularly concerning iron, chromium, lithium, and magnesium. Rachael participates in a wide range of field programs sampling ecosystems, rivers, and drilling for sub-seafloor hydrothermal systems. She teaches marine biogeochemistry and supervises undergraduate and master's research projects at her institution.
