Research Interests

• Impact of climatic change (i.e. sea level, sediment supply) on the geologic record of continental margins
• Establishing stochastic models of spatial distribution of physical attributes on continental margins subjected to various environmental boundary conditions
• Improving understanding of proximal record of climate change on Antarctic continental margin with proxy records from the deep sea

Research Activities

• 2001 Chapman Conference Poster
• Deciphering links between process (climatic change, etc.) and response (record preserved in continental margin deposits) through examination of sequences (cores and high resolution seismic data) where there is control on the boundary conditions (NE Gulf of Mexico, East China Sea, Yellow Sea, South China Sea, Antarctic continental margin).
• Analysis of glacial history of Antarctica recorded in seismic stratigraphy and cores from Antarctic margin.
