Sarah is a palaeoclimatologist, geobiologist, and Earth system modeller studying the biogeochemical cycling of carbon between the atmosphere, the ocean, and marine sediments. Particular research interests include rapid carbon cycle perturbations (Mesozoic mass extinctions, Palaeogene hyperthermals), protracted multi-mullion year carbon cycle trends (co-evolution of life and the carbon cycle), and how biogeochemical cycling within marine sediments influences palaeoclimatological and palaeoenvironmental records.

Teaching

Dr Sarah Greene teaches earth system science, geochemistry, palaeoclimates, sedimentology, oceanography, and field geology. She is passionate about making teaching practices as inclusive as possible, authoring several best practice guides about field teaching that have been adopted by many universities nationally and internationally, and has twice been shortlisted for the University 麻豆精选's Higher Education Futures institute (HEFi) Inclusive Educator Award (2020, 2021). Outside of the University 麻豆精选, Sarah has taught on multiple international summer courses for PhD students, including the International Geobiology Course and the Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimates.

Postgraduate supervision

Paleoclimates, carbon cycle, mass extinctions, Earth system modelling, biogeochemical cycles, large igneous provinces, sedimentology, geobiology, carbonate chemistry, machine learning
