I am a DPhil candidate on the RIV-ESCAPE project, having previously studied at the University of Exeter and King's College London.
My research looks at CO2 and CH4 fluxes from the surface of rivers in UK peatlands. Through quantifying these fluxes and their isotopic composition to determine age and source, I plan to investigate how disturbance processes such as anthropogenic land use and wildfires influence fluvial carbon supply and emissions in peatland environments. Alongside significant field work, this project also incorporates a substantial GIS and remote sensing component, to establish spatial patterns in these processes.
