This site is a work in progress, but the basics are here...

The photo above was taken on the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drillship "JOIDES Resolution" when it was in Prydz Bay, Antarctica. That's me on the right.

My research interests include paleomagnetism (downhole magnetic logging; geomagnetic excursions and paleointensity over the last 300 kyr from Lac du Bouchet, France, and from the NW Atlantic), the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet in the Miocene (through ice-rafted debris records from Prydz Bay), Miocene sea level change (based on carbonate records from the Bahama Bank), and Cretaceous Pacific paleoceanography from chert sequences. Most of these make extensive use of downhole log data.
