Paleoclimate and paleoceanography

My research focuses on understanding the forcings and feedback mechanisms that drive hydroclimate and ocean circulation changes across centennial-to-orbital timescales.

To investigate these processes, I use marine sediments and cave deposits as climate archives and analyze stable isotopes and trace elements to reconstruct past changes in climate and ocean circulation.

Research Opportunities: I am always looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students to join my lab. If you are interested in working as an undergraduate research assistant or pursuing PhD research in my group, please contact me at weldeab@geol.ucsb.edu.
