Research and Academic Interests:

Research interests in stable isotope geochemistry of sediments and sedimentary rocks and their applications to stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleocenography and paleoclimatology; Permian and Triassic stratigraphy; geochemistry and sedimentology of carbonates; geochemical changes associated with the Permian-Triassic mass extinction; carbon and oxygen isotope geochemistry of biogenic phosphates; analytical techniques used in stable isotope analysis
