Personal Statement

My area of expertise is paleoecology. Specifically, I use pollen, phytoliths, and diatoms preserved in sediments to reconstruct past environments. My academic training is in physical geography, biogeography, and botany. I have analyzed sediment cores from coastal lakes, estuaries, and marshes from southwestern Louisiana to Panama City, Florida.
