Research

In my research, I am interested in examining the path Earth has taken from its early stages of development to what we see today, investigating changes occurring both within the deep interior and on Earth’s surface. My research is particularly focused on examining long and short-term trends in Earth’s magnetic field and their implications for the evolution of Earth’s deep interior, in addition to developing geochronologic constraints for important events in Earth history, with an emphasis on mass extinctions.
