HOMEPAGE
Welcome to my website!
I am a geologist whose research is focused on low preservation-potential systems. These include Jurassic desert ecosystems, Late Miocene plant-animal interactions within deposits of the Columbia River Flood Basalts, the earliest multicellular life of the Proterozoic, and the Mt. Simon Sandstone. Analysis of these systems has been classically overlooked, and can only be performed using a mix of paleontology, sedimentology, and geochemistry.
My current post-doctoral appointment with Dr. Brenda Beitler-Bowen is to study the Cambrian Mt. Simon Sandstone to understand depositional environments and diagenesis. This work is a collaboration between the Indiana Geological Survey, the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership, and Purdue University.
