My latest book is "Science, SETI and Mathematics". My first three are "Functional Analysis", "Functional Analysis and Linear Operator Theory" and "Harmonic Analysis- a gentle introduction". In recent years I have written a number of papers about SETI (search for extra-terrestrial intelligence).

Topic: The science and mathematics behind the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence

For high school students or general groups of people that are high school aged or older. Usually all I need is a white board and some colored markers.

My research area is paleolimnology, the interpretation of lake history from sedimentary and paleontological records. Most of my work to date has involved studies of depositional environments, paleoecology, and climate history of the African Rift Lakes and the arid climate lakes of the western US. I use paleoecological and sedimentological records as primary tools in the interpretation of lake deposits, from both outcrops and sediment cores.
