I work to understand why Earth's climate has changed over long timescales, and why it differs from other planets. Our pre-industrial climate was substantially colder than, say, the Cretaceous, yet the mechanism of that cooling is not well known. The transfer of carbon between the lithosphere and the ocean-atmosphere system is fundamentally driven by mineral reactions. Those reactions are critical to long-term palaeoclimate and may inspire methods of carbon capture. I constrain the forces that govern carbon cycle dynamics using field methods, proxies, and quantitative models. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (part of Columbia University).

If that sounds interesting, I'm always looking for conversations and collaborators. Get in touch!
