BIOGRAPHY:

My research is focused on utilizing the geochemistry of corals, microfossils and marine sediments to document past oceanographic and climate conditions over a range of time-scales from sub-annual to glacial-interglacial. In addition to my role as a Lamont Research Professor, I also serve as Director of the Lamont-Doherty Stable Isotope and Trace Element Laboratory, New Core Lab, and Director and teacher in the M.S. in Sustainability Science Program. I came to Lamont in 2011 after 16 years as a Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany-SUNY.
