Funktion und Aufgaben:

My current project tests whether Earth’s silicate weathering feedback can become unstable and drive climate change. Using lithium and silicon isotopes from the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO, ~40 Ma) and a new Earth system model, we investigate transient changes in weatherability and their impact on CO₂. Working with Dr. Patrick Frings and Dr. Michael Henehan, we aim to determine if weathering is always a climate buffer, or sometimes a climate driver.
