Postdoctoral Fellow
My research interests include the study of paleoceanography and Earth history, primarily focusing on oceanic oxygen content, weathering fluxes, and carbon cycling though the use of geochemistry. I am particularly interested in major evolutionary events and biotic crises throughout the geologic record (e.g., Ordovician Biodiversification Event, end-Permian extinction, Mesozoic OAEs) and how these may relate to modern climate-induced changes. My work primarily utilizes concentrations of transition metals along with light stable isotopes and metal isotopes (Li, C, N, O, S, Sr, Mo, Tl, and U). I also integrate paleontological studies, forward box modelling, and database compilation to more completely understand the impact of climatic factors on the past oceans.
