About
I am an expert in luminescence dating and provide time constraints on environmental change and archaeological discoveries. I am the director of the Liverpool Luminescence Laboratory, which hosts a vibrant, diverse research group. More recently, I have been using new luminescence techniques to measure rock erosion rates.
I use my expertise to answer a variety of research questions across the environmental sciences and archaeology, but at present, most of my research falls within these themes:
Theme #1: Resilience of net zero energy infrastructure to climate change
Theme #2: Past environmental change
Theme #3: The untold story of human evolution and adaptation
