My research focuses on the
determination of changes in the isotopic composition of the oceans through
time, by the analysis of stratigraphic suites of sedimentary carbonate
and shale. These studies aim to document the co-evolution of life and the
surface environment across critical transitions, including Earth's earliest
ice ages and mass extinctions. |
