Glacial-interglacial SST reconstruction in the Central Equatorial Pacific (Georgia Tech)
Ph.D. dissertation, advised by Jean Lynch-Stieglitz
Cores from the Line Islands in the Central Equatorial Pacific provide records of tropical Pacific climate over the last glacial cycle, in an area where very few records currently exist. By reconstructing past sea surface temperature (SST) in this region, among other parameters, we hope to better understand the mean state of the tropical Pacific in the recent geologic past. For more information and Line Islands publications, see the cruise website.

Planktonic foraminiferal faunal study and Mg/Ca-temperature calibration at the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (UC Santa Barbara)
M.S. thesis, advised by David W. Lea and Syee Weldeab
We measured paired Mg/Ca-δ18O and faunal fluxes of Globigerinoides ruber from sediment trap samples at the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT). We used high resolution records from the HOT Program to calibrate Mg/Ca to CTD-measured temperature, while accounting for salinity and pH effects and calcification depth assumptions. This manuscript is in preparation, or see our GSA and AGU abstracts.
