Post-Doc, Institute for the Environment
About
I am currently conducting my research at the Institute for the Environment in Brunel University (UK). My research focuses on the reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental changes and the impact of human activities on the landscape (agriculture, pastoral activities, mining activities) through pollen analysis from a combination of Holocene bog sequences and archaeological records.
At the moment I am focusing my investigation on:
1) mires and archaeological sites in the North of Iberia (Spanish research projects leaded by Prof. Antonio Martínez Cortizas (University of Santiago) and Prof. José S. Carrión (University of Murcia),
2) the laminated sediments of the Dead Sea (Israel, a Britain-Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership project leaded by Prof. Suzanne Leroy),
3) pollen analysis of wheat species using several microscopic techniques (a British Academy project leaded by Prof. Suzanne Leroy),
3) statistical analyses on Pliocene palynological data in the Caspian Sea (funded by British Petroleum).
