Dr. Price is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences. Her research interests include the general areas of hydrogeology and low-temperature aqueous geochemistry. More specifically, research involves using chemical tracers, including the isotopes of oxygen, hydrogen, and helium, to identify groundwater flow paths, groundwater ages and groundwater-surface water interactions. Research has also included investigating water-rock interactions associated with seawater intrusion into coastal carbonate aquifers in the Florida Everglades and in Mallorca, Spain. Current research involves using chemical tracers to identify groundwater discharge along coastlines. A current research project involves using stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen to estimated evaporation rates from Florida Bay. Research involves field work, laboratory experiments, and geochemical and groundwater flow modeling.
