Focus Areas: Paleoclimate, Stable Isotope Geochemistry, Paleontology, Stratigraphy
I am interested in understanding how global change influences environmental water availability and biological evolution in terrestrial systems. I primarily approach this using the stable isotope geochemistry of rocks and fossils from ancient greenhouse intervals in Earth's deep past. I also employ other geochemical methods, as well as quantitative paleobiology and chronostratigraphy.
My current project as a part of the IsoPaleo Lab at U-M is focused on using triple oxygen and clumped isotopes of mammal teeth and soil carbonates to study changes in water stress (aridity) across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming.
