Biography
geochemist using Earth system model to investigate changes in climate and the geochemistry of ocean and land. Specifically, she is interested in time intervals in the geologic past when the rate of greenhouse gas release is faster than the background rate, for example, mass extinction events and extreme global warming events. Her primary tools are stable isotopes of carbon (bulk carbonate, organic matter, and compound specific), oxygen (tree ring and cellulose), and nitrogen (bulk organic matter) and Earth system model of intermediate complexity equipped with the cycles of these elements.
Research Interest
carbon cycle, stable isotopes, paleoclimate modeling, data analysis, geochemistry
