Welcome, PostDoc Addison Rice!
Addison is joining the climate geology group as a postdoc to focus on climate transitions in the Miocene.
She will use clumped isotopes in coccoliths and alkenones to reconstruct ocean temperatures and past CO2 levels to try to understand how climate evolves during periods of warming. She will also be collaborating with researchers at Purdue University to implement a coccolithophore proxy system model, which will provide insight into variations in alkenone and coccolith-based proxies.
