My research integrates original field observations with laboratory data sets in order to further understanding of global change through time with a focus on the Mesoproterozoic (1.6 billion to 1.0 billion years ago) and the Neoproterozoic (1.0 billion to 542 million years ago) Eras when the Earth was going through profound transitions. A major focus of this work is on the development of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic data sets, often from stratigraphic sequences, in order to test hypotheses about changing paleogeography and the evolution of the geomagnetic field.
