My research focuses on reconstructing glaciers and ice sheets through glacial geomorphology and geochronology. I’ve worked extensively in Antarctica and Patagonia, but also other locations around the world including here in Scotland. I primarily use cosmogenic nuclides (10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, 14C) and noble gases (21Ne) to constrain the timing of glacial activity and erosion, but I also use the technique to quantify other Earth surface processes. I manage Edinburgh’s Cosmogenic Nuclide Laboratory, where we perform wet chemistry to extract and purify targets for AMS analysis of 10Be, 26Al and 36Cl. We can also prepare samples for analysis of 14C and 21Ne. If you have samples you’d like to analyse, please get in touch.
