My research focuses on Earth's climate variability and paleoceanography. I am interested in learning about the causes and mechanisms of past fluctuations in the ocean and atmosphere, and how such information can helus anticipate future changes. To do so, I use a combination of observations, geochemical proxy measurements, and modeling simulations to identify and investigate important processes at play in the Earth-climate system. Primarily, my work involves stable isotopic and trace metal geochemistry of mainly) carbonate archives e.g. corals/foraminifera/snails/stalagmites) as well as the analysis of climate model simulations. I am also interested in extreme climate events and hazards earthquakes, flooding, heatwaves, sea-level changes) and how the geological record can helinform future projections. Ongoing research projects include Indo-Pacific climate change, reconstructing Atlantic Ocean circulation anomalies, Indian paleomonsoon variability, and uncertainty in proxy-model comparisons.
