My research interest includes two main fields, paleoclimate and neotectonics. With a background in geology and geochemistry, I currently focus on chronology and geochemistry of corals in the western coast of Myanmar. In particular, by expertise of uranium-thorium disequilibrium dating and stable oxygen/carbon isotope and trace element analysis, I reconstruct high-resolution paleoclimate information through time, such as sea surface temperature, salinity, and precipitation by proxy data. Thus, the natural variation can be unraveled and we can better understand the artificial influence on earth’s environment. I am also involved in a study by speleothems (cave carbonates) from Myanmar and Indonesia which can provide us with broader spatial view and longer time scale, up to hundreds of thousand years, on paleohydrology evolution.
