Research Overview
I am interested in the changes to Earth's climate and oceanography through the Phanerozoic, how these changes have been influenced by orbital, tectonic and volcanic variations, and how these impacted marine and terrestrial life. My research has largely focussed on microfossil, isotopic, and sedimentological evidence preserved in marine sediment cores to understand environmental and climatic changes across major climate transitions. These include carbon isotope excursions from the Jurassic and Palaeogene, ice sheet expansions during the Eocene-Oligocene transition, the middle Miocene climate transition, the mid-Pleistocene transition, and Antarctic environmental changes since the de-glacial. I carry out my research using established and novel environmental proxies which include: foraminiferal stable isotopes and trace metals; sediment major elements and mercury; radiogenic neodymium isotopes of marine sediment and fish teeth; organic biomarkers.
My research can be divided into the following themes:
- Investigating geological examples of rapid global warming (hyperthermals) due to changes in the carbon cycle, including the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and Oceanic Anoxic Events.
- Deciphering the causal mechanisms of Earth’s major climate transitions, including the middle Miocene climate transition, the mid-Pleistocene transition and Quaternary glacial cycles.
- Using micropalaeontological, ancient sedimentary DNA and geochemical techniques to decipher Quaternary changes in marine biota in the Antarctic, and their causal mechanisms.
