Research areas
My research focuses on the forcings and mechanisms of natural climate and carbon cycle change through geochemical records of past climatic events. My group makes geochemical measurements on samples from ice cores, corals, and marine sediment cores to understand the forcings and responses of our climate system on timescales ranging from recent history to millions of years ago.
