The Feakins' Organic Geochemical Research Group
is dedicated to the development and application of biomarker isotopic proxies
to advance the study of Past Climate & Environmental Change.

Research and Education Foci:

• The Ocean-Atmosphere Climate System
• Environmental and Ecological Change
• Organic Geochemical and Stable Isotopic Techniques

Proxies

• Water Isotopes in the Hydrological Cycle, Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen and Oxygen
• Biomarkers and Organic Geochemistry, in particular Plant Leaf Waxes
• Compound Specific Isotopic Analysis, Stable Isotopes of Carbon and Hydrogen
  

Research Questions:

• Proxy Development and Application: Hydrogen isotopes in plant leaf waxes
• Climate Change and Human Evolution
• Climate Change in the Western US
