I study how sedimentary processes record and influence Earth’s climate and history. My work begins with field observations and measurements, utilizing quantitative methods and remote sensing to analyze data. Drawing from disciplines like computer vision, geochemistry, and numerical modeling, I aim to use clues from the sedimentary rocks to understand Earth’s history and climate.

At the University of Washington, collaborating with Dr. Akshay Mehra, I am studying how rivers have responded to past climate change events to better understand how landscapes will respond to modern climate change. Prior to joining UW, I completed my Ph.D. in Geosciences at Princeton University, an M.Sc. in Geology at the University of Georgia, and a B.A. in Geology at Macalester College.
