Research Interest
My research encompasses the use of benthic foraminifera as paleoenvironmental proxies. Currently my research focuses on three main areas: 1) environmental controls on modern benthic foraminiferal distributions; 2) foraminifers as Late Neogene paleoenvironmental indicators; and 3) Holocene paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic reconstruction using benthic foraminifera.
