Dr. Lane’s research interests include sediment records of late-Quaternary paleoenvironmental change, stable isotope geochemistry, prehistoric human-environment interactions, and rapid climate change events. His current research topics include late-Holocene environmental (climate, vegetation, disturbance regimes, etc.) change in Central America, the circum-Caribbean, and North Carolina, tracking prehistoric maize cultivation using stable isotope analyses of lake sediments, assessing the impacts of rapid climate change on prehistoric human populations, and assessing the impacts of global climate change on carbon cycling in boreal soils. In addition to his work in North Carolina, Dr. Lane has also been lucky enough to conduct much of his research in beautiful locations such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Newfoundland (Canada), and St. Croix (USVI).
