Research Interests
Joe Lambert's
research interests are in isotope geochemistry and sedimentology.
Primary research (paleotempestology)
is focused on developing a new method for reconstructing the severe
storm record for coastal environments during the late Holocene with the
goal of gaining a more complete understanding of the response of severe
storm activity/intensity to climate change. A pilot
study has been completed for reconstructing an 800-year severe
storm record for the Alabama coast from the sediments preserved in Lake
Shelby, Alabama. Additional
research interests include topics studied by students working at the
ASIL. Research tools include: dual-inlet IRMS, continuous flow
EA-IRMS, continuous flow laser ablation-IRMS, offline extraction
techniques, and micro-sample analysis.
