Research Interests
Kelton McMahon is a biological oceanography and ecological geochemist, actively engaged in basic and applied research to examine the roles that food web architecture play in the function and resilience of marine ecosystems. He is particularly interested in understanding how climate change and human-environment interactions alter these relationships. A central focus of his work is the development and application of cutting edge molecular isotope geochemistry tools to explore the sources and cycling of organic matter as it flows through marine ecosystems.
