Research Interests
My research interests primarily lie in reconstructing sea-level changes over the Late Quaternary period, with a particular focus on Common Era sea-level change in the Southern Hemisphere. I have expertise in generating high-resolution sea-level reconstructions using microfossils and quantitative methods to assess the magnitudes, rates and drivers of sea-level change.
