Earth Sciences

Research Summary

I am currently working as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Palaeoceanography and Palaeoclimatology within the Department of Earth Sciences at University College London. My main research interests concern the use of isotopic and geochemical proxies as indicators of past climate changes in order to understand the interplay of atmospheric and oceanic processes in driving and amplifying environmental change. 

I employ a variety of techniques to study the ways in which the Earth's climate has changed in the past by examining fluctuations in the geochemical composition of different proxies (diatoms, foraminifera, bulk sediment) preserved in marine or lacustrine sedimentary archives. I am currently working on a 3-year NERC-funded project to investigate the potential role played by the North Pacific Ocean in the storage and release of carbon to the atmosphere during the last deglaciation.
