I am a paleoclimatologist and paleoceanographer. Questions that motivate my work include:
How do climate variability, seasonality, and extreme events depend on different climate mean states?
How does climate variability respond to climate forcing?
To address these questions, I collect geochemical data from foraminifera in marine sediments, and synthesize terrestrial climate proxy data and historical observations.I also develop new statistical approaches to model uncertainty in paleoclimate data, enabling quantification of variability and extreme events.
