Publications & CV

I integrate geochronology and sedimentology to understand how time is recorded in rocks, and how environmental and post-depositional processes affect that record. Recently, I have also begun to explore the interrelated concepts of fieldwork, field safety, and career development (Cantine 2021 TSR).
