    My primary research interest is in the area of  paleoclimate. I study sedimentary records to extract climate-related information on seasonal  to glacial-interglacial  time scales. I employ diverse methods ranging from marine micropaleontology to light isotope geochemistry and core and well logging to decipher Earth's climate record.
