Current Research

I'm working to reconstruct the past Earth's surface environment through geological surveys and geochemical analysis. My current reserach interests are (1) the relationship between climate change and tectonics, (2) the development and application of new paleoenvironmental reconstruction methods, and (3) the elucidation of depositional mechanisms of carbonate deposits.
