I have a PhD and 5 years of postdoctoral experience in tro­pi­cal pa­ly­no­lo­gy and or­ga­nic geo­che­mistry. I am in­te­rested in ve­ge­ta­ti­on re­s­pon­se over epi­so­des of glo­bal cli­ma­te chan­ge on va­rious time­sca­les, whe­ther it be Qua­tern­ary or deep-time. I recently decided to shift my focus to teaching geography which I am thoroughly enjoying!
