Earth Surface Processes

Julia Wilcots’s research seeks to reconstruct the history of Earth’s climate in deep time using the physical and chemical records preserved in carbonate rocks. Wilcots accesses these records using a suite of geochemical, petrographic, and computational methods, including clumped isotope geochemistry and high-resolution multispectral imaging. Wilcots is particularly interested in solving problems of Precambrian climate and understanding carbonate sedimentation throughout Earth history.
