Biography

I research Earth's climate in Deep Time, using stable isotopes and clumped carbonate isotope thermometry. I also research the the relationship between biodiversity and climate. I also investigate the use of clumped isotopes in novel methods, such as tectonics, and ore-forming mineralization events.
