PhD in Environmental Science

Research – Late Glacial – Interglacial Transition in the Northern Isles of Scotland

Using a multi-proxy approach to understand the temperature changes during the LGIT. This project involves the use of chironomidae assemblages, tephrachronology, carbon dating and stratigraphy to constrain the timing and temperature changes during the LGIT.
