About

I am an honorary Research Fellow in palaeobotany. My recently completed NERC CASE funded PhD student at the University of Birmingham with the National Museum, Wales, compared the floristics of peat (coal) forming forests in Euramerica and North China across the Carboniferous-Permian boundary, assessed the degree of interchange between these two end members, and created a framework for the ancient assembly of present day China, a tectonically complex landmass.

These plant communities appear to have migrated wholsale across large tracts of time and space, and I am investigating the mechanisms and processes behind this, and what they may be able to tell us about present day plant ecosystems.
