SYEE WELDEAB

Paleoclimate, paleoceanography, proxy development and refinement

The main focus of my research is the understanding of the forcings and feedback mechanisms of hydroclimate and ocean circulation changes over centennial-to-orbital time scales.

I use marine sediments and cave deposits as climate archives and analyze stable isotopes and trace elements to reconstruct changes in climate and ocean circulation.

Opportunity: I am always looking for motivated undergrad students and grad students: If you are interested in working in my lab as an undergrad research assistant or PhD students, please contact me (weldeab@geol.ucsb.edu).
