Research
My research interests center around the use of laser-ablation geochemical techniques to generate high-resolution records of environmental proxies.
Applications of these methods include coral skeletal geochemistry as a tool for reconstructing past ocean conditions and sedimentary provenance as a tool for reconstructing past ice sheet dynamics.
I'm also interested in developing new ways to analyse and visualise geoscientific data.
