research centers on mountain building processes and regional climate change and the associated influences of each on atmospheric dynamics. Specifically, I use stable isotope geochemistry, clumped isotope thermometry, detrital provenance techniques, and climate modeling to study the tectonic, topographic and climatic evolution of orogenic systems as recorded in proxies preserved in sedimentary basins.
