Coral reefs are one of my big interests. I'm passionate about studying how extreme environments and climate change impact our reefs so that we can better preserve them for future generations.
My work in palaeoceanography and palaeoclimate examines the ways that the Earth's orbit and climate may have contributed to mass extinction events in the past.
