Hello, I'm Amy!

I'm a physical geographer interested in how our planet changed in the past and might change in the future.

I mostly work with mud!

Mud, or sediment if we're being scientific, holds a variety of clues into how Earth has changed over time. It can tell us about...

How temperatures rose and fell
How glaciers expanded and contracted
How ecosystems changed

↓

I specialise in working out how old sediment is. Understanding the age of (often called "dating") sediment is important as it lets us work out how quickly (or slowly!) changes happened. I'm also really interested in whether or not these changes vary spatially - do they happen everywhere at once, or do some areas respond earlier?
