Subject Area
Biological Oceanography, Marine Ecology
Marine Geology, Geophysics
Activities
I work with marine sediment-cores
from the Eastern Tropical Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean
Sea, 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. One of my project goals aims to reconstruct
changes in atmospheric circulation linked to ocean circulation and to
reconstruct connections between continental and oceanic zones.
