I use stable isotopic records to study interactions between mammals, vegetation, and climate in past ecosystems. My work involves a combination of geologic fieldwork, isotopic lab work, and modern analog studies. Active projects include reconstructing Plio-Pleistocene environments from sedimentary and isotopic records preserved in the East African Rift system, isotope hydrology in Ethiopia, paleoecological and sedimentology of mid-Pleistocene sites in South Africa, and mass-dependent triple oxygen variation in the sedimentary record and the hydrosphere.
