In September of 2016, I was awarded my PhD from Oregon State University Department of Geology in the College of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Science, under my advisor Peter U. Clark, and my graduate committee that consisted of Alan Mix, Andrew Meigs and Ed Brook, where my focus was in paleoclimatology.
My interests include uses of glacial geology, geochemistry isotopes and data-set compilation for reconstructing Earth's climate, ice sheets, ocean and atmospheric circulation in an effort to inform our understanding of future climate change.
I am interested in a range of issues associated with paleoclimate that include 1) paleoclimate's role in informing policy recommendations and legislation including the role of the Intergovermenetal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2) the role that paleoclimate plays in understanding the evolutionary origins of hominids and early Homo sapiens.
Oregon is where I consider home. When I am not working I can usually be found mountain biking, leading multi-day whitewater trips, skiing (resort and backcountry), going on trail runs, going on surf trips, building mountain bike trails, playing bluegrass guitar or making tacos.
