Job Title
Geosciences Technician
F.W. Olin Center

Areas of expertise

Geochemistry, Paleoclimate, Glaciology, Climate Change, Polar Science

Research interests

I am a researcher focused on understanding past climates and current climate change. I utilize
geochemistry to analyze records from glaciated and deglaciated environments to explore glacial climate
history and its impact on today’s climate. By examining these natural records, I aim to uncover insights
into how past climates evolved and influenced our present, as well as what that might mean for the
future. My goal is to connect geochemistry with climate science to address the challenges of climate
change.
