​
My oceanographic research and teaching programs are focused on quantitatively characterizing the extent and intensity of natural and human impacts on marine seafloor systems to provide actionable information for resource managers

Curriculum Vitae
My research program addresses societally relevant and globally significant issues concerning the assessment of diverse anthropogenic activities including land-use and watershed development impacts on aquatic environments, the consequences of marine mineral and energy extraction, and the benthic distribution and impacts of marine debris (microplastics).  I utilize sedimentological, radiochemical, micropaleontological, and biogeochemical tools to assess high-resolution sedimentary sequences that document the changing structure and function of benthic and planktic ecosystems. 
​
I am currently an assistant professor at Eckerd College and a courtesy research associate at the University of South Florida, College of Marine Science.  I am involved with several international, collaborative projects to provide tools to ease the assessment of any future natural or human impact and subsequent recovery.

I welcome any questions, interest in collaborations or contract analytical work (stable isotopes, radioisotopes, sedimentology, foraminifera, etc.).  Please feel free to contact me.
