Dr. Ma’s primary research focuses on understanding critical processes at our Earth’s surface, more specifically in natural waters and soils that are integral parts of the Earth’s near-surface layer, or the Critical Zone. His research approach is developing and using a variety of novel isotope tools to study the Critical Zone: to quantify soil formation rates, to trace water flow paths and solute sources, and to study cycles and pathways of various critical elements in the environments.
