Biography

My research aims to increase our understanding of the drivers and mechanisms of Quaternary climate change. I am particularly interested in the global transition from the Last Glacial Maximum (20,000 years ago) to the present. My main expertise lies in the palaeoclimatic reconstruction using mountain glaciers, which are sensitive recorders of climatic change. I use a combination of geological investigation, geochronological techniques (cosmogenic surface exposure dating, radiocarbon dating, tephrochronology), and numerical glacier modelling in order to reconstruct past glacier advance/retreat and infer past climatic change.
