I am interested in unravelling the geological archives of those curious and intriguing periods of our planet’s history that record global-scale readjustments of the Earth system. My research is steeped in detailed field geology and I collaborate with geochronologists and isotope geochemists to try and create datasets that underpin, constrain and test ideas about the causes and consequences of those fascinating times of wholesale environmental change.

Research Overview:

My research utilises field-based observations and isotope geochemistry to create, test and constrain ideas about the processes that shaped Earth’s surface environments. My interests are keenest on those pivotal times of geological history during which wholesale Earth system change occurred.
