Research Interests
- Climatic evolution of Cenozoic Oceans,
- Cyclostratigraphy of early Paleogene records,
- Astronomically-tuning of the Geological Time Scale
- Role of long-term astronomical cycles on climate change
- Non-destructive core logging/scanning methods incl. XRF Core Scanning
Wyoming's Bighorn Basin preserves an unusually
complete stratigraphic record of early Paleogene
time (~65-50 Ma). The Bighorn Basin Coring Project
(BBCP) aims to drill a series of cores in the basin to
better document the interplay between climatic, biotic,
and geologic change during this period of global
greenhouse conditions.
