My research is focused on the impacts of climate change on electricity demand and generation, and the integration of climate data in energy infrastructure planning. Previously, I applied geochemical analyses on marine carbonates to reconstruct past sea surface temperature, and still maintain an interest in Pacific climate variability past and present.
