Lisa Mayhew
Research Associate
University of Colorado - Â鶹¹ÙÍø • Department of Geological Sciences

Lisa is a geochemist and geomicrobiologist who uses microscale chemical imaging tools to understand the chemistry of dynamically altering low temperature geologic systems and the influence of biotic processes on this alteration. Within the RPL NAI, Lisa will conduct laboratory experiments to identify water-rock reaction pathways and abiotic (mineral) and biotic catalysis of these reactions. She will also characterize changes in the redox state and mineralogy of rocks from serpentinite field sites and those altered in laboratory experiments.
