Christopher Conwell studies Earth's ancient climate and rock/fossil record, particularly focusing on the Ordovician period (roughly 485-444 million years ago) and its transition from a warm 'greenhouse' climate to a cold 'icehouse' climate. His work uses chemical signatures preserved in fossils and rocks, such as strontium and neodymium isotopes, to reconstruct past weathering and climate processes, and he has also contributed to applied research on underground CO2 storage.
