I'm a paleoclimatologist who uses geologic records of earth's history to better understand the sensitivity of the Arctic in a warmer, wetter, and human-dominated world. I specialize in using lipid biomarkers and ancient DNA preserved in sediments from lake and marine environments as well as generating modern proxy calibrations to improve our estimates of past climate. In addition, I have strong interests in advancing our ability to date and correlate these climate records with volcanic ash.
