Research in Brad Rosenheim鈥檚 group aims to constrain changes in climate and carbon
cycling in the recent geologic past, from the anthropocene to the last glacial maximum.
Researchers working with Dr. Rosenheim employ isotopic techniques including conventional
stable isotope measurements (H, C, N, O), non-conventional stable isotope measurements
(鈥渃lumped鈥� isotopes in CO2 derived from carbonate minerals), and radioisotopic techniques
including uranium system dating and radiocarbon analysis. Dr. Rosenheim鈥檚 group obtains
geologic and oceanographic data from sediment, coral and sclerosponge skeletons, ice,
and the open ocean water column. The group casts a broad approach to specific questions
regarding climate and carbon cycling, resulting in success of obtaining research support
from an equivalently broad section of NSF programs and other funding agencies that
fund Earth Sciences.
