Research Interests
Broadly, I am interested in research on paleoclimate. My specific interests include understanding the variability of ocean and atmospheric circulation of the Tropical Pacific due to seasonal and inter-annual cycles (El Niño/La Niña events). I am also fascinated by the use of stable oxygen isotopes in tree rings and corals to construct past precipitation trends.
