Projects




MassExtinct
Investigating causes and consequences of biodiversity loss across the Triassic - Jurassic mass extinction event.


Cenomanian – Turonian OAE
Reconstructing a high resolution record of atmospheric CO2 change across the Cenomanian - Turonian ocean anoxic event (90 Ma).

Evolution of Stomatal Function
Exploring the evolution of plant stomatal function in a phylogenetic context.


Palaeoelevation
Using the stomatal based CO2 proxy to investigate the uplift history of major mountains and plateaus.


Palaeoatmospheric CO2
Development and use of the stomatal CO2 proxy to reconstruct palaeoatmospheric CO2.


Stable Carbon Isotopes
Uses stable carbon isotopic composition analyses in fossil plants to understand palaeophysiology and reconstruct changing isotopic composition of the atmosphere.
