Brandon was able to present the start of his master’s research at his first AGU conference! Brandon’s research examines the accumulation of the mineral barite from a published XRF record of deep marine sediments from the equatorial Pacific. By examining the warm Miocene Climate Optimum (16.9-14 million years ago), Brandon hopes to investigate whether elevated export production was characteristic of the entire middle Miocene, or if it was confined to the later middle Miocene Climate Transition (13.8-14.3 million years ago), which Dr. Samantha Carter, a graduate of the Griffith lab, investigated in her master’s research.
