Academic interests

I am geoscientist working on problems in global paleogeography and the kinematic history of the tectonic plates. My research involves both the collection of new paleogeographic constraints from observations and experiments, and the construction of plate models from such data. I am particularly interested in applying these paleogeographic insights to understand how the history of tectonic plate motion has influenced Earth's internal dynamics, climate and the biosphere.

Ongoing projects

EPIC 'Untangling Ediacaran Paleomagnetism to Contextualize Immense Global Change' is supported by an ERC Consolidator Grant and will commence in the fall of 2022. 

Frontiers in quantitative paleogeography is an umbrella project started in late 2021 and seeks to advance new and emerging approaches to estimate past plate motions and their uncertainties.
