Overview

I am a PhD Researcher working with past variations in sea level. My research focuses on using Mg/Ca ratios and oxygen isotopes to separate the relationship between ocean temperature and ice volume changes. As part of the NatClim Project, I provide the ancient sea-level data needed to help us predict future climate shifts.
