Research Interests
My research interests primarily focus on developing proxy data sets for investigating climate, physical ocean processes, and ecological changes from intertidal to subtidal habitats using macro-invertebrates proxies and sediment analysis. As such, it relates to my overall scientific interests, which are paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, ecosystem restoration, and the relationship between regional geology and it effect on civilization development.
