I have a strong research interest in past greenhouse climates and oceanography, with special focus on the Late Cretaceous and Eocene. As part of an integrated stratigraphic approach, I investigate the role of orbital forcing on past climates, and I use the expression of sedimentary cyclicity to refine the Geologic Time Scale. To investigate the role of the oceans in past greenhouse climates, I use the radiogenic isotope proxy of neodymium to reconstruct deep water formation and ocean circulation.

Previously, I have worked at the University of Portsmouth, UK, the Institute for the Coastal Marine Environment in Naples, Italy, the Goethe University of Frankfurt, Germany, the University of Oxford, UK, the University of Rennes, France and the University of Barcelona, Catalunya, before starting In Utrecht as assistant professor in 2024.
