Interests:

My dissertation research involves using speleothems (cave formations), cave dripwater, and historical weather data from Bermuda to study patterns of climate variability in the North Atlantic region.

I have extensive experience teaching introductory-level college courses, and my career goal is to be a tenured professor at a small college.

New results from Bermuda cave dripwater coming soon, and hopefully will be presented during ...

My latest Bermuda trip, 25-28 Oct. 2009; I'll be collecting rainwater aliquots for stable isotope analysis, and giving a talk on my research at BIOS.
