About

I originally trained as a geologist and then specialised in organic geochemistry. I mostly teach undergraduate students field and laboratory practical skills in both geography and geology, allowing students to put into practice the theory they have learnt in lectures.  My main research is in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction particularly of Quaternary sediments.
