Research Interests

My research sits at the intersection of biogeochemistry, sedimentary geology, and soil science. I study both modern and fossil soils (paleosols) in order to understand how the Earth's critical zone has evolved throughout geologic history and how soils will respond to future land-use and climate change.

​

Current research interests include:

​

  1) The impact of soils on global biogeochemical cycles

​

  2) Using soil gas compositions to study and characterize below ground processes

​

  3) Understanding how soils and continental environments have evolved throughout geologic history
