I am presently interested in the response of sedimentary systems to environmental change, suc   as the arrival of invasive species and the spread of hypoxia. I also employ these models to help reconstruct past environments and events in the Earth's history. Prior to joining the Baltic Nest Institute, I graduated with a PhD in Oceanography from Dalhousie Unversity, Canada, under the supervision of Bernard Boudreau and undertook post-doctoral work with Caroline Slomp at Utrecht University, The Netherlands.
