Specialty: Paleoceanography, glacial history, foraminifera.

Research Interests: Paleoceanography, glacial history, and climate change in high latitude regions, specifically Greenland, Baffin Island, Iceland, and Antarctica. Specializes in using foraminifera for interpreting paleoenvironments and chronology on high latitude continental shelves. Additional foraminiferal studies of salt marshes in Oregon and Chile applied to Holocene relative sea-level changes and neotectonics.
