Alberto graduated with MSc (Earth Sciences) from Simon Fraser University, then PhD (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) from the University of Alberta. He is currently interested in developing stratigraphic, geomorphic, and geochemical records of climate change and associated earth system impacts during late Cenozoic warm intervals, particularly Pleistocene interglaciations.
Current research themes include:
-Extent of the south Greenland Ice Sheet during Pleistocene interglaciations (with colleagues at Oregon State University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
-Paleoclimate potential of Cenozoic sub-fossil wood from the northwestern North America (with colleagues from University of Alberta, Swansea University)
-Middle Pleistocene stratigraphy and paleoenvironments in unglaciated Yukon & Alaska (with colleagues from University of Alberta, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
