Fields of interest:
Paleomagnetism, geomagnetism and rock magnetism, and their application to geologic problems. Current interests include Cenozoic and Mesozoic geomagnetic polarity time scales; paleoclimatology, paleolatitude, and tectonic controls on the carbon cycle; the Late Paleozoic Ice Age and paleogeography of the Pangea supercontinent; paleointensity variations; magnetic properties of terrestrial and marine sediment, polar ice and their environmental significances.
