Team

Meet the team reading Earth's history.

The group brings together sedimentology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, computation, and field experience across projects on sea level, carbonate systems, stratigraphy, and past climate. Each person manages their own research projects with mentorship and support from the PI, and we work together to share ideas, data, and skills.
