Understanding how the earth's climatic system, particularly the ocean, adjusts itself to perturbation on various timescales drives most aspects of my research. My recent projects include application of alkenone paleotemperature determinations to problems of Plio-Pleistocene climate change, development of new tools to scan sediment cores non-destructively, and application of orbital stratigraphy to solve problems in earth history over Cenozoic and Mesozoic time.
Overview | Research | Grants/Awards | Teaching | Publications
I received my B.S. in Geological Sciences from Yale College in 1980 (Magna Cum Laude), and my Ph.D. from Princeton University in Geological Sciences, in 1997. I have been recognized for my research in the area of Earth Systems History and paleoceanography which has earned me a leadership role in the peleoclimate community. My research has led to a better understanding of the history of global change. Within the University community, I have worked hard to develop strong links between the Department of Geological Sciences and Environmental Studies, the Environmental Change Initiative and Earth and Evolutionary Biology groups. I teach broad-reaching courses such as "Ecology and Climate", "Ocean Biogeochemistry", and "The Enigma of Warm Climates in the Geological Record."
