Research
I've had the great privilege to be involved in a diverse array of research projects around the world.
I have research experience in the following areas:
I have research experience in the following areas:
|
Paleolimnology & HydroclimateFrom New Zealand to Greenland, I have worked to develop records of Earth's past climate using lake sediments. I specialize in hydroclimatological monitoring, hydrodynamic and sediment transport studies, and in the physical and geochemical characteristics of sediments as indicators of paleoclimatic variability. I have a particular interest in highly-resolved (annual to decadal) paleoclimate archives.

Alpine Hydrology & ClimateI collaborate with the Alpine Hydrology Research Group (AHRG) lead by Dr. David Clow at the Colorado Water Science Center. AHRG's focus is on research related to effects of climate change and air pollution on water resources in mountains of the western United States. Research emphases include the influence of variability in water quality and availability, nutrient enrichment of surface water due to atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, and carbon cycling in aquatic environments.

Ice CoresBeyond my experience drilling ice cores in West Antarctica, my research compares polar and alpine ice cores to other highly-resolved terrestrial and marine archives. I am particularly interested in the latitudinal transect between the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes.
|
Marine ResearchI've been fortunate enough to participate in research cruises in the Pacific Ocean. My research at sea focused on the latitudinal distribution of different water masses in relation to El Niño Southern Oscillation and I participated in the Dredging Reinga and Aotea basins to constrain seismic Stratigraphy and Petroleum systems (DRASP) project aboard the RV Tangaroa in NW New Zealand.
