My research is focused on the role of silicate weathering in driving global climate change in the Paleozoic. I use isotopic systems such as Sr and Nd to track major shifts in weathering, and I explore how these shifts could have interacted with simultaneous cooling or warming. My projects so far have focused on Middle to Late Ordovician cooling as well as Late Silurian to Middle Devonian climate fluctuation.
