Research interests
My research interests encompass two primary areas:
-
Harmonizing Chemo- and Chronostratigraphy within a Regional Sequence Stratigraphic Context: I aim to integrate chemical and chronological stratigraphy into a cohesive regional sequence stratigraphic framework. By doing so, I seek to enhance our comprehension of geological formations' temporal and compositional evolution.
-
Leveraging Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Data Alongside Trace Elements for Enhanced Sequence Stratigraphy and Deeper Insights into Paleoclimate and Diagenesis: My research endeavors involve utilizing carbon and oxygen isotope data in conjunction with trace element analysis to achieve a finer-grained sequence stratigraphy. This multidisciplinary approach enables a more nuanced understanding of past climates and the diagenetic processes that have shaped sedimentary deposits over time.
