Profile
I am a final year PhD student funded by the Leeds-York NERC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). I have a broad interest in climate dynamics, palaeoclimatic reconstruction, and anthropogenic climate change. My research involves incorporating carbon isotopes (14C and 13C) into the FAMOUS General Circulation Model to improve our understanding of past and future changes in large-scale ocean circulation and the marine carbon cycle.
