Personal profile
Research Statement
I am an isotope geochemist with over 30 years of research experience currently employed as both research fellow and laboratory manager of the Stable Isotope Facility within the School of Natural and Built Environment
I am a firm believer in multi- and interdisciplinary research and my portfolio of interests and publications include an array of topics that require isotopic interpretation.
Research Interests

- Short- and long-term climate change
- Environmental forensics
- Bioarchaeology
- Geologic processes
- Provenancing, including food security
- Ecosystem Dynamics
Teaching
- CIV 2068 Project Management and Coding (Module Coordinator)
