Faculty Member, Archaeology
Senior Lecturer
About
My key research theme analyses the interaction between humans and the environment in the North Atlantic islands (including the Atlantic Scottish islands, Faroes, Iceland and Greenland) through reconstructing and analyzing: 1) trajectories of environmental change, 2) the impact of human settlement on palaeoenvironments, 3) palaeoeconomies in different island settings and 4) cultural adjustments to environmental marginality. This research theme provides time-depth for understanding human societal response to rapid environmental change that represents one of the global challenges of the 21st century.
My inter-disciplinary research expertise spans archaeology and geosciences and much of my research is driven by international collaboration. I have published over 40 peer-reviewed papers in 17 journals and my field and laboratory research is funded by a number of grant bodies from the UK, Scandinavia and North America including Leverhulme Trust, NERC, Historic Scotland, National Geographic and National Science Foundation of America.
