Emerging research questions, themes, and graduate study direction.

Research Interests

Emme’s research interests center on reconstructing environmental and climate change through sediment-based records, with a growing focus on multiproxy approaches that connect biological and geochemical evidence.

Current themes

  • Paleoenvironmental reconstruction using sediment cores from marsh and marine/coastal settings
  • Fossil pollen analysis to track vegetation and land-use change through time
  • Multiproxy integration (e.g., pollen, XRF, LOI, particle-size analysis) for stronger paleoenvironmental interpretation
  • Climate and moisture variability recorded in stratigraphic archives

Methods and training interests

  • Pollen processing and identification
  • Core sampling, stratigraphic description, and lab workflows
  • Geochemical and sedimentological proxies
  • Age-model construction and chronology constraints
  • Scientific communication through abstracts, posters, and presentations

Graduate study direction

This site supports graduate applications by documenting Emme’s current research experience, conference presentations, and methods while providing space to add project pages, figures, and publication-style summaries.
