I am interested in research that utilizes sedimentary proxies to reconstruct past climate, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of current and future impacts of modern climate change. More specifically, I am interested in using leaf wax biomarkers and stable isotopes preserved in lake sediments to reconstruct periods of abrupt climate change in southern Greenland throughout the Holocene (11,000 YPB to present).
