Our research spans a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, focussing on the last 100 million years of Earth history and extending beyond mainland New Zealand to investigate the drivers and impacts of change in the subtropical to subantarctic Southwest Pacific, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
