Emission of mercury from the burning of coal is considered one of the important anthropogenic sources of atmospheric mercury. Along with current measurements of the isotopic composition of atmospheric mercury being conducted in our...
Utilizing Indian Ocean Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy of Miocene Sediments to Investigate Tectonic and Climatic Forcing during the Evolution of the Himalayas
The geological history of Himalayans and Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding how our planet evolves, and how geological structures can have local and global effects on climate and floral and faunal evolution of a system. This...
Stable Carbon and Oxygen Isotopes in Cetaceans and in Terrestrial Herbivores as Indicators of Diet, Movement and Environment: Paleoceanographic, Paleoclimatic and Paleoecologic Applications
Stable oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of modern and fossil cetacean teeth and bones were analyzed to examine if and how they reflect the diet, habitat preference and migratory patterns of modern whales and to reconstruct the...
Geochemical Proxies Preserved in Fossils and Lake Sediments: New Insights into Ancient Diets and Environments in South China and Storm Activity in South Florida
This dissertation research has used geochemical tools to reconstruct paleoecology and paleoenvironment with the goal to better understand the effects of long-term climate change on terrestrial ecosystems and mammalian evolution in South...
Employing stable carbon and oxygen isotope analyses (including d13C and d18O of structural carbonate in mammalian tooth enamel and d18Op of fish bone samples) to reconstruct paleoecology and paleoenvironments, this dissertation strives...
