I am fascinated by the study of long-term vegetation dynamics and the driving forces behind them. Through my research, I have explored past human influences and the impact of natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, sea level fluctuations and climate change. Originally from the UK, I completed my Master's degree at Stockholm University in Sweden before completing my PhD at Southampton University back in the UK. My research has primarily involved the use of subfossil pollen grains to investigate the complexities of vegetation change on millennial timescales in Scandinavia, the Mediterranean and various South Pacific islands. My focus has now shifted towards exploring the potential of sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) to improve our understanding of past ecosystems. I am currently focusing on better understanding how sensitive different sedaDNA methods are at detecting plants within the environment and identifying any potential methodological biases.
