1999 Ph.D., University of Washington, Seattle. Biological Oceanography
My research examines sea-level change throughout Earth's ice ages, and attendant paleoceanographic, paleoclimatological, and paleoecological shifts. Current work from my research group integrates field observation of the sedimentary record with global geophysical numerical models to refine estimates of past sea level heights for both warmer and colder intervals in Earth's history.

My work aims to reconstruct and understand past climate change and atmospheric composition, using deep ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica. I combine ice core measurements, numerical modeling and fieldwork to achieve these goals.
