Research interests
I am a macroecologist who explores Earth-life interactions at a range of spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales. I use geological data (fossil occurrences) to quantify ecological patterns using statistical models. This research agenda investigates questions such as how ecosystem diversity and structure arose and is maintained, and how synchronously ecological communities have responded to climate change during past intervals of Earth history.
