Biography
He completed his MSc and PhD at Royal Holloway University of London. During that time, he developed the use of laser-ablation as a highly spatially resolved analytical technique capable of extracting palaeoenvironmental data from fossil organisms at sub-seasonal resolution. He had also worked extensively on laboratory cultures of foraminifera (unicellular marine protists) in order to calibrate new geochemical systems, especially for ocean chemistry reconstruction. Since then he had been a postdoctoral associate at Yale University working on the use and development of the carbonate clumped isotope palaeothermometer.
Research Interest
research is focussed on the use, understanding and development of geochemical systems incorporated into the skeletons of marine calcifiers. The over-arching aim of this work is to utilise systems that relate systematically to environmental conditions to further understand past climatic variation on a range of timescales, and to inform us of the resilience of calcifiers to anthropogenic-forced global change.
