Research Interest

My science is truly interdisciplinary &helips; blending geology, chemistry, and biology to address a variety of questions regarding the types of feedback between different Earth systems and the relative roles of these systems in the evolution of the Earth's early biosphere. That said, my passion is for the Mesoproterozoic - an interval of time spanning from 1.6 to 1.0 billion years ago (longer than the whole of the Phanerozoic), yet a time of which we know relatively little. What we do know, however, is intriguing:

  • assembly of the first, major supercontinent, Rodinia
  • the first widespread deposition of marine gypsum
  • the first unambiguously multicellular life
