Research interests
- The use of light stable isotopes as tracers to help us understand nutrient cycling and the impact of pollution on the environment. Light stable isotopes applications in science-based archaeology. Including carbon, nitrogen and sulphur analysis of organic materials (collagen, hair, archaeobotanical samples) and oxygen isotopes in bioapatite. Stable isotopes as environmental change proxies.
