Research field:
Marine paleoclimatology
My research interest is in paleoclimatology of the oceans and on land covering the last ~25,000 years. I am primarily interested in compiling, comparing, and correlating marine and terrestrial records to obtain regional trends and overviews. I strive to achieve multi-faceted records by working with various climate archives and methods, but also by analyzing multiple taxa that may complement and/or overlap each other in terms of output. I favor interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-disciplinary studies.
I have previously worked on deep-sea cores from the eastern North Atlantic Ocean west of the British Isles and the east-equatorial South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Congo. The methods have been faunal analysis of planktonic foraminifera, oxygen and carbon isotope analyses of multiple species of planktonic foraminifera, counts of ice-rafted debris (North Atlantic only), and alkenone analysis of sediment. Age control has been achieved through AMS 14C dating. These studies provided temperature and salinity records, and information on North Atlantic iceberg production. I am currently focusing on the Gulf of Maine and on combining information from near-shore material and more distal records from the Gulf with various terrestrial archives studied by colleagues at the Climate Change Institute.
