My research focuses upon reconstructing and understanding Quaternary, particularly Holocene, environmental change. I find the Holocene a particularly fascinating period, as for the first time in earth's history humans begin to cause profound environmental change. My principal research tools are pollen, testate amoebae and macro-fossil analysis of sediment cores retrieved from lakes and marshes. I also study the modern ecology and geomorphic processes of coastal and lacustrine systems, in order to improve interpretation of paleoenvironmental data.
