Cephalopod biology
Photo of Maorites ammonite from Seymour Island, Antarctica.I use geochemistry to probe the ecology of modern and extinct cephalopods. This group is an important component modern and ancient marine ecosystems. Ammonoids are a particularly important group in the fossil record and are used to construct the geological timescale and study evolution.
I am interested in using new geochemical tools to investigate questions related to behavior, lifespan, and metabolism at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
