I am currently researching the palaeoenvironmental history of the Amundsen Sea Embayment through the use of various proxies. I will use paleomagnetism to look at the environmental magnetism of the Pleistocene from the IODP Expedition 379 core U1533, and more recent stable isotope data from foraminifera collected during the Nathaniel Palmer Cruise in January 2020.
Research project: Antarctic climate history at the onset of glaciation: Was there ice in the greenhouse?
