ACCE PhD Research Topic
Late Pleistocene interactions between glacial change and regional volcanism in the North-West Pacific: Interpreting the marine sedimentary record
I am interested in the marine sedimentary record of the North-West Pacific and what it can teach us about glacial change on the Kamchatka peninsula during the late Pleistocene. Through a combination of marine core analysis, ocean-iceberg modelling, tephrochronology and geochemistry, I hope to unravel the complex interactions between ice sheet change and regional volcanism.
