BIO

Having studied botany, geology, palaeontology and geography, I now combine the
knowledge gained in these fields to the palaeoecological reconstruction of
Late Quaternary environments. I specialise in plant macrofossil analysis from
various contexts (environmental, archaeological, waterlogged, charred), with a
strong focus on seeds. My previous research has given me experience working
with floras from a broad range of geographic and climatic regions.
