Biography

Julie held research positions at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and has received ARC fellowships, including the Australian Postdoctoral Award Future Fellowship. Her research focuses on developing and applying geochemical proxies in marine biogenic carbonates and phosphates to elucidate seawater chemistry and environmental change over geological timescales. Her work is cross-disciplinary, integrating the fields of geochemistry, physical chemistry, oceanography, and biology. Julie's research has advanced the understanding of trace elements and boron isotope systematics in relation to seawater carbonate chemistry and coral calcification, providing important insights into how marine calcifiers respond to high CO2 conditions. A key aspect of her research involves utilizing high spatial resolution in-situ microanalytical geochemical systems to study phosphatic microfossils, contributing to the collective understanding of climate events through deep time. Julie has played a vital role in establishing a state-of-the-art geochemistry mass spectrometry facility at UWA and has conducted oceanographic research cruises to previously unexplored underwater areas. Her ongoing projects include deep-sea coral studies, exploring ocean-climate records, and collaborations on international geochemistry research projects.
