Additional Specialties:
My recent research focuses on rapid centennial-scale climate changes of the late Pleistocene and Holocene. My interests are diverse, incorporating research themes such as understanding the ramifications of global change on regional climates, assessing past human-climate interactions, and determining the role of surface- and deep-ocean circulation on modulating climate. To this end, I have developed and integrated paleoceanographic records with ice core data, climate model simulations and archeological evidence, and have studied a number of areas in the Indian, Pacific, and North Atlantic Oceans.
