Project III: PALEOPOLAR

Picture
Prior to starting at UCL I completed an MSci degree in Environmental Geoscience and a PhD in Chemistry, both at the University of Bristol. My PhD research focused on reconstructing the climatic and oceanographic evolution of the South China Sea for the past 5 million years using a combination of inorganic and organic geochemical proxies. My postdoctoral research within the Paleopolar project involves applying geochemical climate proxies in late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic Antarctic sediments in order to understand climate system responses to global environmental changes in a greenhouse world. Specifically, I will be generating organic carbon isotope data and lipid-based proxy temperature data following on from the work of Dave Kemp.
