Taleen analyzes carbon and oxygen isotope fluctuations in carbonate stromatolites to reconstruct the paleoclimate of the Eocene Climatic Optimum. Her research interests include microbe-sediment interactions, and the complex relationships between microbial nutrient cycling and the biosphere. Currently Taleen is a doctoral student with Dr. Elizabeth (Lizzy) Trower at the University of Colorado Boulder (http://www.trowerlab.com/people.html).
