The aim of the DISTILL group is to determine how organic carbon burial has varied through geological time. We are based in the Earth Sciences department at Royal Holloway University of London, where we use a combination of fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and numerical modelling to investigate the processes that control the burial of organic carbon in marine sediments. We use multiple proxies including cadmium, rhenium, and osmium isotopes.
In Vienna in 2024, Hannah presented 'A stable cadmium isotope perspective on organic carbon burial trends during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum', and Neeraja presented her poster 'Investigating the fractionation behaviour and mass balance of cadmium isotopes during continental weathering and marine burial.'.
