My research interests encompass the fields of biogeochemistry, paleoceanography, and paleoclimatology, with a focus on understanding the factors driving climate during the Cenozoic era. My approach applies the isotopic compositions and abundances of organic molecules (biomarkers), and records of stable isotope- and trace-element compositions of species-specific foraminifera to constrain the physical and environmental conditions of ancient oceans, terrestrial systems, and the atmosphere.
