About me

I am a geoscientist interested in Quaternary global environmental change, with special emphasis on large past and present ice sheets and smaller-scale glaciers. I use a range of geological, geochemical and palaeoecological methods to reconstruct past dynamics and extent of ice bodies as well as characteristics of the surrounding environments. This work feeds into our understanding of interactions between climate and the environment.

Before joining BES, I completed BSc in Environmental Geoscience at the University of Edinburgh with a project focused on reconstructing the chronology of ice retreat from An Garbh Coire in the Cairngorm Mountains. Later, I graduated with a MSc in Quaternary Geology at Lund University in Sweden. My project investigated the Holocene chronology and dynamics of Helagsglaciären, Sweden's southernmost but largely unresearched glacier.

My current work aims to reconstruct the timing of the most recent ice sheet retreat from the Outer Hebrides, and an associated sea level change.
