Research Interests

My research interests are based on investigating the sedimentology of fine-grained sediments. To this end I use optical and electron microscopy, and petrographic analysis of mudstones to understand the processes of deposition, and depositional environments.

My responsibilities include the maintenance of project-specific databases.
