Research Interests:
I am an Earth Scientist with special interest in stable isotope geochemistry. I like to approach scientific questions using a combination of different methods and geochemical proxies. During my education and early career I found interest in:
- Mass spectrometry and laser ablation
- Low temperature stable isotope geochemistry
- Low temperature thermochronology
- Silica diagenesis and silicification
- The Precambrian-Cambrian boundary
- Sediment provenance
