Research Interests

Research and Activities

My current research includes processing strontium, lead and neodymium isotopes on archeological specimens to help determine migration patterns and sourcing. I am also involved with in analyzing isotopes on a VG Sector 54 TIMS, developing various sample processing methodologies for archeological and marine carbonate analysis, and conducting detailed geospatial mapping and geochronological dating of uplifted marine terraces in Barbados to better understand long-term deformation and sea level records
