Teaching
My teaching focusses on developing self-confidence and knowledge through hands-on experience gained via field-based geological training. My lectures aim to complement that training and centre on introducing students to the techniques that enable documenting and interpreting Earth’s sedimentary rock record.
Research areas
My research utilises field-based observations and isotope geochemistry to create, test and constrain ideas about the processes that shaped Earth’s surface environments. My interests are keenest on those pivotal times of geological history during which wholesale Earth system change occurred.
