Research interests
Current research focuses on a reconstruction of Holocene ocean temperature and meltwater variations in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica through stable isotope analysis of mollusk shells. This project aims to help answer the question of a synchronous or asynchronous climate pattern between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in Holocene time. Other research interests include glacial geology and climate sciences.
Past research has also involved projects in structural geology and sedimetology. Recently, I worked on a research project using ground-penetrating radar to observe englacial stratigraphy and improve mass balance estimations on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska.
