My group conducts research in paleolimnology and the impacts of environmental change on aquatic ecosystems. We conduct field- and laboratory studies on the sediments and fossils of large lakes and wetlands, in order to answer questions related to climate change, fisheries conservation, human-landscape interactions, water, and natural resources. Our toolkit is diverse and integrates techniques in stratigraphy, geochemistry, geophysics, and paleoecology. Current areas of interest include the East African Rift Valley (Tanzania, Zambia), the Pantanal wetlands (Brazil), the lower Amazon River (Brazil), the eastern Sierra Nevada (CA), the Grand Teton (WY) and the Iowa Great Lakes.
