Interests: sedimentology, carbonates, geochronology, isotope geochemistry; laser ablation; Precambrian life; bias in the sedimentary rock record; field safety
My research focuses on geochemical and physical records of time and environment preserved in sedimentary rocks. I want to understand how the Earth and life have changed through time, how that history is preserved in rocks, and how post-depositional processes complicate that record. I work on sedimentological and geochemical questions from across the geologic time scale. I joined UW as an assistant professor in autumn 2023.
