Looking for a PhD to start in 2021?

I'm seeking new graduate students to work on Mesozoic oceans, climates & carbon cycling. So, if you like a mixture of stratigraphy, geochemistry & deep-time fun... read on...

(Apologies for any bad jokes included below...) 1/n

Want to see if we can use space dust to determine the duration & pacing of Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events?

Important implications for the rapidity and environmental impacts of past C release events...

Or maybe you fancy using neodymium isotopes in fish teeth to determine how the warm waters of the Cretaceous chalk sea flowed and interacted with the rest of the ocean?

This one would be CASE supported.

Finally, this is not an exhaustive list of projects I would be happy to supervise - I'm happy to discuss any other ideas or interests you might have.

For a clearer picture of the science I'm interested in, check out...
