Research interestsIf we analysed Earth remotely over the past billion years, what would we see? Earth’s surface environments have changed dramatically through geological time. My research in sedimentary geology investigates how Earth's sedimentary systems and environments, the history of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and life (microbes, animals, and plants) have co-evolved through time. I am particularly interested in Earth’s oldest reefs and coastal environments such as tidal flats before plants and animals evolved.
I completed my PhD in Earth Science at the University of Melbourne, a MSc in Earth Science at the University of Oregon, and a BSc at Colorado College in Geology.
