Research Interests
I study past climate change, with an emphasis on the role of the oceans. I work on deepwater variability during the Holocene and deglaciation, deepwater geometry of the last glacial maximum, interglacial climates, and past climate and oceanography of the Indo-Pacific region, with an emphasis on the Holocene. I'm also involved in reconstructing climate changes during the last several centuries to millennia, using both corals and sediment archives.
