Biography

I have been working at Maynooth University, Ireland since 2005, teaching Quaternary geomorphology, Earth Science and Palaeoclimate related courses. I am active in offshore and onshore research into the reconstruction of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet. To expand our knowledge of Irish sediment archives I helped establish the Irish Sediment COre Research Facility (ISCORF) at Maynooth University in 2009 with support from the Geological Survey of Ireland. I continue to support the Irish Quaternary Association (IQUA) and enjoyed being involved in its hosting of the INQUA2019 Congress in Dublin.
