RESEARCH INTERESTS

I do research using isotopes to study natural processes in geology and biology. Projects include landform evolution using cosmogenic isotopes, geochronology using radioisotopes, ecology and paleoecology using stable isotopes, forensics using both radiogenic and stable isotopes. I do field work on wildlife ecology, surface processes and geology.
