My research focuses on geochemical and physical records of time and environment preserved in sedimentary rocks. I want to understand how the Earth and life have changed through time, how that history is preserved in rocks, and how post-depositional processes complicate that record.
I’ve had wonderful geological and laboratory adventures on five continents and made contributions to our understanding of the environmental context in which complex, macroscopic animals emerged on our planet, and how that story is captured in carbonate rocks.
I love teaching science to talented future first-generation students in Mississippi through Freedom Summer Collegiate, and invite you to contact me about getting involved.
