Amy Gartman, PhD
I lead the USGS Global Marine Minerals project, which you can learn more about here. My work focuses on the geochemistry of marine minerals including all aspects of water-rock interactions such as precipitation, alteration, and the role of nanoparticles in mineral accumulation.

What do we really know about the role of microorganisms in iron sulfide mineral formation? What do we really know about the role of microorganisms in iron sulfide mineral formation?
Iron sulfide mineralization in low-temperature systems is a result of biotic and abiotic processes, though the delineation between these two modes of formation is not always straightforward. Here we review the role of microorganisms in the precipitation of extracellular iron sulfide minerals. We summarize the evidence that links sulfur-metabolizing microorganisms and sulfide minerals in...
