Research Interests
Limnology and Paleoliminology
Limnology (fresh-water ecology) and paleoliminology (the history of lakes, their watersheds and climate). Although research interests cover a broad range of subjects, most projects done in this laboratory contribute to the use of lake sediments in interpreting the past history of lakes and their watersheds or to a better understanding of the role of lake sediments in the geochemistry of lakes. Currently, emphasis is being placed on the use of annually layered (varved) lake sediments in geochemical modeling, improved sediment dating techniques, and as precise records of past lake environments and climatic conditions.
