Research Interests

• Deep-sea paleo-oceanography in the Arctic, Atlantic and Indian Oceans
• Microfossils for use in environmental geology of coastal areas, focusing on coastal evolution, sea level and aquaculture
• Recent and Pleistocene Foraminifera and Ostracoda, and their use as environmental indicators and coastal zone management tools
• Thecamoebians, their present distribution and usefulness in paleo-ecology
• Sea-level changes and environmental changes related to glacial periods
• Quaternary paleoceanography, stable isotopes in the Quaternary
• Global climate change, most recently using deep sea corals as a climate archive
