Welcome!

I am a low-temperature geochemist, and interested in understanding climate and environment changes of the Earth throughout geological history. My work is focused on developing element- and isotope-based geochemical proxies, and applying those proxies to study fundamental processes at Earth's surface conditions across different spatial and temporal scales.
