Research interests
My research interests lie at the boundary between geochemistry and palaeontology. I am interested in using geochemistry to understand the ecology of extinct animals, particularly those thought to have lived in symbiosis with distinctive microbial populations. My work on this area has two main strands: 1) chemosymbiosis in hydrocarbon seep communities and 2) diet, digestive processes and methane emmissions in herbivores.
