Research Interests

I am interested in the quantifying how the Earth's climate has changed over geologic time, how these changes have influenced the Earth's terrestrial biosphere and how in turn the Earth's terrestrial biosphere has influenced climate.

I am achieving this through combining palaeobotanical studies with experimental investigations into how plants adapt to environmental change. This is leading to the development of mechanist proxies to reconstruct palaeoclimates.
