My research focuses on understanding past climate dynamics by studying mineral dust in ice cores from the Allan Hills, East Antarctica. I investigate dust composition, origin, and transport to capture insights into past climate conditions.
This project seeks to understand dust provenance and transport across the deglacial transition from MIS 6 to 5e. This chapter sheds light on the sources of dust and the mechanisms responsible for its transport during one of Earth’s most recent warm interval.

This project seeks to develop a uranium-series technique to disentangle complicated ice stratigraphy. By applying this technique to ice core samples from the Allan Hills, this project seeks to improve our understanding of ice layering and provide an alternative way to date ice cores. Dating of ice cores is crucial for establishing precise chronological frameworks and correlating climate events with other paleoclimate records.
New dust and sediment provenance records in East Antarctic ice between 500 to 2000 ka.
This project seeks to develop strontium and neodymium isotope fingerprinting of deep ice core dust extending the record farther back in time at the Allan Hills.
