Deputy Manager, Research Fellow, NEIF Radiocarbon Laboratory

Application of radiocarbon analysis for establishing chronologies and investigating the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Development and application of methods to recover samples of carbon dioxide for 14C analysis from different environments for understanding the source and rates of carbon cycling (e.g. soil respiration, deep peat CO2, evasion from surface waters, atmospheric CO2).

Radiocarbon analysis of methane.

Carbon cycling and accumulation in soils/peats.

Applications of bomb-14C, e.g. to age the surface layers of peats.

Application of 14C analysis in soil meso-fauna studies.
