I have now moved institutes, leaving the School of Earth and Ocean Science at Cardiff University where I have been placed for the last five years. I have joined the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research (LTRR) at the University of Arizona. I am working with Prof. Bryan Black to set up a new sclerochronology facility within the LTRR. I will be working on developing novel multi-proxy reconstructions of Pacific decadal variability using marine molluscs and terrestrial archives derived from tree rings.
