Elizabeth M. Griffith studies Earth's ancient climate and environmental history using chemical signatures preserved in rocks, cave formations (speleothems), and other natural archives. Her work uses isotopes of elements like calcium, strontium, and barium to reconstruct past rainfall, weathering processes, and links between plant evolution and climate change over geological timescales ranging from ancient (Devonian, Silurian) to more recent (glacial-era) periods. She also studies fire history and glacial contamination records, and has contributed to work on integrating geoscience into math education.
