Activities

I work with marine sediment cores from the Eastern Tropical Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea and recently, from the Peninsula Antarctica. I aim to reconstruct the changes in the surface ocean, marine productivity, oxygenation, subsurface denitrification, and intermediate circulation at different temporal scales: secular, millennial and glacial-interglacial. My primary research interests are the documentation and study of Quaternary abrupt climatic changes registered in coastal and marine sediment cores using planktonic and benthic foraminifera, geochemical proxies, and time-series analyses.
