Biography:
My听research听is concerned with the reconstruction and understanding of late Pleistocene and Holocene environments,听abrupt climate change,听human鈥揷limate interactions and data鈥搈odel comparisons. I have specific expertise in听the听geochemical and听micropalaeontological听analyses of lake-sediments听and have worked in northern India, China, West Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.
Research Projects:
Climate variability over the circum-Caribbean region during the past 1200 years from oxygen-isotope analyses of lake sediments听(NERC)
Detecting Change in Local Ponds听(Royal Society Partnership Grant)
