This research investigates how coccolithophores—microscopic marine algae that both absorb and release carbon dioxide—have influenced Earth's carbon cycle over the past three million years. Using fossil sediments, geochemistry, and machine learning, it reconstructs past ocean ecosystems to improve predictions of how marine carbon cycling will respond to future climate change.

This research investigates tropical atmospheric waves that influence rainfall, storms, and seasonal weather patterns. Using satellite observations and machine learning, the study shows that wave propagation depends on geographic location, upper-level winds, and topography. The findings can improve weather forecasting models and help communities better prepare for extreme rainfall events.
