- 2019-2022 Science Coordinator: Anthropocene Working Group, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin. The transdisciplinary project “Earth Indices. Evidence and Experiment” is following the geological endeavour to formulate and explore the stratigraphic definition of the Anthropocene epoch and its wider social and cultural impacts. Environmental archives (lake, ice core, coral, marine, peat) are being investigated from multiple sites around the globe to detect markers and provide data on the global transformation of geological processes in the mid-twentieth century.
- 2016-2019 Research Associate: NERC Hydroscape - environmental stressors and connectivity in aquatic systems. Generating and gathering multiple strands of palaeoecological and biogeochemical data to further our understanding of the effects of long-term human activity, environmental change, and contaminants on current aquatic systems. Coordination and planning of experiment design, laboratory analyses and data production for PIs, post-doc researchers and technicians. Key responsibility is managing the process from field and laboratory work, through to analysis and interpretation of data, to reporting and publication of results. Duties involve logistical and organizational planning, generating and interpreting results from a diverse array of laboratory analyses; including sediment geochemistry, trace metal analysis (ICP-MS, ICP-AES, Hg-CVAS) of ecological samples and provision of samples for macrofossil and diatom analysis. Use of analytical skills using GIS (ArcMap) and stratigraphic and statistical (SPSS, R) software and data management/reporting. The current role includes presentation of results at meetings, future conferences and production of first author and co-authored scientific publications.
