Associate Professor, University of Maine
Member, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology Emiliani Lecture Committee
I am interested in problems of glacial cycles, abrupt climate reorganizations, and hydroclimatic change. I approach these problems by investigating past glacier and hydrological changes on a global scale. I am interested in what the natural Earth system can teach us about the dynamics of a warming world.
