Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences
North Carolina State University
Welcome to the Past & Present Climate Lab at NCSU. We explore climate change impacts on oceans through paleoceanography and modern ecology, with special focus on planktic foraminifera and ocean deoxygenation.
Research Highlights
Reconstructing Pelagic Oxygen Minimum Zones
We apply geochemical and micropalentological techniques to understand how oxygen minimum zones have varied through time.

Modern Planktic Foraminifera Ecology
We study changes in foraminifera species abundance to understand recent climate change impacts on marine ecosystems.

Trophic Ecology of Foraminifera
We use isotopic and micropaleontological tools to assess the ecology positions of modern and extinct species of foraminifera.
