Biography
Research interests
Before working within Professional Services at the University of Bristol, I was a researcher in the School of Geographical Sciences.
I joined in 2006 after completing an undergraduate degree in Earth Sciences at Oxford and Masters in Applied Meteorology at Reading University. After completing my PhD in 2010 on Greenland ice sheet climate – ice – vegetation feedbacks I worked for 8 years as a Research Associate and Senior Research Associate on a number of collaborative European and UK-based research projects focussing on the climate of past warm periods in Earth history.
This previous research investigated the climate of past warm periods to inform on future climate scenarios and possible abrupt changes based on a synthesis of data and modelling. Specifically, I used climate models of varying complexity to examine the sensitivity of the climate to different forcings (e.g. greenhouse gas concentrations, vegetation changes, ice sheet changes).
