RESEARCH INTERESTS The objective of my research is to resolve uncertainties about the mechanisms of climate change, the controls on the global carbon cycle, and the measurement of geologic time (geochronology). These subjects are fundamentally interdependent, as there are linkages between climate and the carbon cycle, and the establishment of reliable chronologies is essential for determining rates of climatic and biogeochemical change in Earth's past. My interdisciplinary approach to investigating these topics integrates data with modeling and statistical techniques, to unravel the history of the climate system, oceans and geosphere.
