Welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University. My research group studies the geochemistry of coral skeletons to study Earth history hundreds to thousands of years in the past. We develop new quantitative, high-resolution reconstructions from dynamically-important regions of the tropics, and we pair these reconstructions with modern observations, dynamical theory, and numerical simulations. Our research is highly interdisciplinary, spanning the fields of geochemistry, oceanography, and atmospheric science in which we utilize a wide variety of geochemical and computational tools.
 
If you are interested in joining my lab, please reach out to me over e-mail with a brief description of your research interests and a CV (or a summary of past coursework and research). You can also find the description of any open positions in the Opportunities section of this website.
