Biography

As a historical geologist I use the record from sediments and sedimentary rocks to document aspects of Earth's history. Understanding the provenance and processes recorded in the geochemistry of sediments and sedimentary rocks lies at the heart of my research interests, with goals of understanding tectonics and continental crust evolution questions on the longer time scale, as well as Quaternary climate changes and associated changes in winds, currents and glaciers.
