Areas of Research
Global environmental change
My research interests concentrate on Quaternary environmental history and the role of land cover in influencing global climate. Specifically, I study the way climate change affects land use and land cover, and how these, in turn, affect hydrological cycles, soil, the atmosphere and the built environment.

Working with this supervisor
Are you interested in understanding how climate and society changed in the past? Do you have a background in environmental science, earth sciences, geography, archaeology, or anthropology, or related fields? Would you like to work with computers, develop your own models and other computer programs? I am currently offering short-term paid research internships (3-6 months), full graduate scholarships (research master’s and Ph.D.), and postdoctoral fellowships. I welcome applications from prospective interns, graduate students, and postdocs of any gender, nationality, religion, and economic background.
