Bio/Research
I am a field-based Quaternary scientist with research interests in Quaternary stratigraphy and natural hazards, focusing mainly on the late Cenozoic (Pliocene and Pleistocene) history of the upper Yukon basin. This region of interior Yukon and Alaska, eastern Beringia, remained unglaciated through the Quaternary and preserves a tremendous record of the evolution of climate, vegetation and mammalian fauna over the last few million years. My research focus, at present, is on the climate history of this region through the Brunhes Chron (last 780,000 yrs) as recorded in glacial and interglacial deposits. This work is strongly interdisciplinary and I work closely with paleobotanists, paleontologists, molecular biologists, petrologists and soil scientists as we try to unravel the impacts of past climates on the Beringian ecosystem
