PDRA at Bangor University researching tipping points in lake and climate change. PhD completed at Royal Holloway University which focused on Bayesian climate reconstructions, climate modelling and climate policy
Our new research exploring the role of the latitudinal temperature gradient on European seasonality is now published in Nature Communications. We combine Holocene palaeoclimate proxies with transient simulations to predict changing seasonality to the end of the century www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Consistent response of European summers to the latitudinal temperature gradient over the Holocene - Nature Communications
10,000 years of summer length changes are reconstructed. Longer summers occurred when the equator-to-pole temperature gradient weakened. A 1 °C drop added ~6 days; under high emissions, European summe...

Europe could see up to 8 months of summer by 2100. A new study led by @celiavarves.bsky.social provides important insights for future climate projections. Read more at www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As we seem to, yet again, be talking about the hot UK summer of 1976, a reminder that the UK is not the world.
Yes, it was hot that summer over our small region, but the bigger picture tells a different story.
And, we've had hotter UK summers since.

My turn for a starter pack! Here is a collection of Quaternary Scientists (broadly defined) that you might find interesting to follow. Enjoy. And let me know your suggestions please!

Earlier this year I was asked to be involved in an interview about my research, lakes sediments, and climate change in general. A little different to my every day work but it was definitely fun doing this... you can watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=39i-...

New paper (led by Emily Hollingsworth) in P&P assessing spatial and temporal patterns in petrogenic organic carbon mobilization during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. It's also Emily's first first-author paper - wooo! #proudsupervisor

Great to present some of my PhD work at the #QRA24 conference this afternoon!

The record shows an increase in anthropogenic activity through time. Iron age land use change (deforestation) and then a further intensification during building of the market town.
