I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Northumbria working on Miocene climate reconstructions and fungal biogeography.

My expertise lies in palaeobotanical-based climate modelling, evaporite palynology, Palaeozoic Euramerican palynology and palaeobotany of the North Sea basin and adjacent areas, and wall ultrastructure analysis of gymnosperm pollen grains .

We reconstructed Britain of millions of years ago to see what climate breakdown will involve
