I am a quantitative stratigrapher, and my work sits at the intersection of sedimentation, paleoclimate, and surface processes. I'm fascinated by the sedimentary record of glaciation, in particular the global Snowball Earth glaciations of the Neoproterozoic, and how glacial stratigraphy records climate dynamics like astronomically-forced ice ages. To this end, I also utilize non-glacial records of cyclic sedimentation to assess the presence and character of astronomical forcing and the implications for planetary climate. Finally, I think about sedimentation at continental scales, and how Earth's geodynamic processes dictate the first-order variability of global sedimentary budgets and sea level. My research leverages field work, drone-based remote sensing, geochronology, and statistical modeling.
