Gabriel F. Traietti

I am a second-year PhD student advised by Dr. Gisela Winckler and Dr. Jennifer Middleton and working in the TINGL lab at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. I am interested in understanding the mechanisms which drive past and present global climate change through harnessing geochemistry to construct paleoclimatic records. I am presently working on reconstruction of dust flux and productivity records in the Southern Ocean during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. I specialize in noble gas and isotope geochemical techniques in the analysis of ocean sediments. Prior to studying at Columbia I received a Sc.B. from Brown University, where I studied Quaternary tropical terrestrial paleoclimate.
