Torres is known for her work at cold seeps and gas hydrates, geochemical tracers used to track fluid flow in seep environments, and the chemistry of sediments and porewaters. Her early research examined the minerals associated with cold seeps near Peru,[2] with a focus on barium-containing minerals.[3] Her subsequent research has examined minerals in methane hydrates,[4][5] methane venting from the seafloor,[6] and barite formed at cold seeps.[7] She has also examined the methane found in gas hydrates in the Arctic,[8] and silicate weathering in anoxic sediments.[9]
In 2013 Torres was named a fellow of the Geological Society of America[10] and a fellow of Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg.[11][better source needed] In 2021 Torres was named a fellow of the Geochemical Society.[12]
