Professional History

I am a geo-archaeologist working in both academic and compliance research settings. I integrate methods and theory from archaeology (the study of the human past) and earth sciences (paleontology, palynology, sedimentology, stratigraphy) to address complex historical-ecological research questions.

Research Description

My research is focused on understanding complex interactions between human societies and the environments they inhabit. Particularly, I study past human-environment interactions and how coupled human-natural systems change over time (decades-to-millennia). Because I am most interested in human-influenced ecologies, I specialize in the Holocene epoch, but I also work with late-Pleistocene depositional environments. I utilize various archaeological and earth-science methods, such as sediment coring, archaeological excavation, remote sensing, zooarchaeological and paleontological analyses, sedimentological analyses, and palynology (the study of fossil pollen and spores).
