RESEARCH INTERESTS
After graduating from Boston University with a
Bachelor's degree in Earth Science, I spent a few
years in the Air Force as an Intelligence Officer. I
had the opportunity to serve in North Dakota, Texas
and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Although I had a fantastic
time, it's great to be studying Geology once again.
Research Interests:
- Using geochemical concepts to solve low-temperature,
earth surface problems. I'm especially interested in
learning more about pollution remediation and abrupt
climate change.
- I will be using stable isotope geochemistry, as well
as C-14 dating, to analyze the climate recorded in a
core from Lake Tanganyika, Africa. I hope to isolate
specific Heinrich events. In addition, I want to
correlate the results to findings from other lakes in
the region.
