I study marine sediment to reconstruct past changes in ocean circulation and terrestrial climate. Our group primarily uses stable isotopic and trace metal (Mg/Ca) analyses of foraminifera and terrigenous sediment geochemistry to investigate how and why climates have changed in the past. Recent research projects include: Holocene climate and ocean circulation variability, Tropical-extratropical paleoclimate linkages, Pliocene-Pleistocene evolution of tropical climates, African Climate and Human Evolution.
