Research
My research is on Paleoecological studies which focuses on two major microfossilsphytolith and to an extent pollen grains from sediment samples. I am keen on understanding the interactions between plants, vegetation and climate. The vegetation and climate of the past, using phytolith and pollen as main proxies.
