I'm a research fellow in the Environmental Change Research Centre, UCL, located in London, UK. I undertake research on environmental problems, including climate change and atmospheric pollution, affecting lakes. I use lake sediments to look back in time at the history of lakes to look at what organisms are present and how the species in the lake have changed through time and how lakes evolve and respond to pollution and perturbations.

I also currently work for Ensis Ltd., the ECRC's consultancy arm.
