I am interested in understanding how much (and at what rates) Earth’s climate and environment have changed through time, and how these global environmental changes can impact the ocean. I love thinking and teaching about the physics, geoscience, biology and chemistry that makes the world work! Most of my research focuses on developing sample sets of cultured and fossil corals for paleoenvironmental study. I also investigate the material structure and chemical composition of coral skeletons using a range of analytical techniques. If you're interested to learn more about my research or teaching, or if you have questions about the programs I direct, please get in touch!
