Description of scientific projects
My main area of global change research is the study of paleoclimate records from lake sediments, particularly closed basin evaporites. I have done research in the Qaidam Basin, China, Death Valley and Saline Valley, California, and currently I am working in the Central Andes, Argentina (Salar de Hombre Muerto), Chile (Salar de Artacama) and Bolivia (Salar de Uyuni). Our climate data consists of paleoaridity records, paleotemperature records from fluid inclusions, and fossil ostracodes.
