Research Interests
The aim of my research is to put modern climate change in the lens of the past by studying recent abrupt climate change and abrupt changes during the transition between glacial and interglacial periods. Specifically, how has ocean circulation and chemistry changed from pre-industrial conditions and during the more rapid climate events that overprint the glacial-interglacial periods of the Pleistocene. By documenting the oceanic changes that have occurred during both modern and past rapid climate events, my research provides clues to the oceanic role in both driving and responding to a changing climate.
