I am a tro­pi­cal pa­ly­no­lo­gist and or­ga­nic geo­che­mist who is in­te­rested in ve­ge­ta­ti­on re­s­pon­se over epi­so­des of glo­bal cli­ma­te chan­ge on va­rious time­sca­les, whe­ther it be Qua­tern­ary or deep-time.

Through the use of com­pound spe­ci­fic iso­to­pe geo­che­mis­try, I cur­rent­ly in­ves­ti­ga­te hy­dro­lo­gi­cal chan­ges and ve­ge­ta­ti­on dy­na­mics at the eas­tern mar­gin of South Af­ri­ca in ma­ri­ne and ter­restri­al ar­chi­ves through the late Qua­tern­ary.
