Hi, I’m Tao Wen (pronounced “Tau When”), an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University.
I study how natural processes and human activity shape water and elemental cycles. My group combines water chemistry, isotope measurements, and data analysis to study energy extraction and urbanization.
Since joining Syracuse in 2020, I have built and directed the Hydrogeochemistry and Environmental Data Sciences (HANDS) and Noble Gases in Earth Systems Tracing (NEST) laboratories. Our Research page describes the laboratories and their instruments.
I teach hydrogeology, aqueous geochemistry, and environmental data science. Course materials and learning modules are available on the Education page.
