Research

Our research combines experimentation and modeling to understand the co-evolution of life and the planet. The geological record is an important archive of information that we use to unravel Earth history through various geochemical analyses (elemental, isotopic, molecular, and mineralogical). Specifically, we want to understand the evolution of complex life and the extent of organism control on biogeochemical cycles. See our subpages for additional information on specific research projects.
