Biography
After completing my BSc (Hons) in Geology from the University of St. Andrews in 2014, I moved to the University of Bristol to complete my PhD in Geographical Sciences (2014-2018). My PhD focussed on understanding the sources/ sinks and the roles of various trace gases in different glaciated environments.
Following my PhD, I have continued studying glacier-influenced systems, but now with a focus on water quality and the impacts of glacier retreat.
