Undergraduate research culminated with an environmental reconstruction from the early Holocene based on chironomid assemblages from a sediment core taken from Gameshope Loch, Scotland. From here my deep fascination in Holocene environmental change grew, leading me to pursue this PhD project and start a career in research.<\/p>\n Research Project:<\/p>\n My PhD focuses on the palaeoclimatic record from two mid-low latitude lakes: Nar G\u00f6l\u00fc and Yaal Chac, from Turkey and Mexico respectively. High seasonality and semi-arid conditions characterise the contemporary climate and so research will investigate how this changed over key periods in human development, such as the initial domestication of wheat and maize (ca. 9,000 years ago). Both of the lakes\u2019 sediment records are varved (i.e. annually laminated) thus permitting exceptionally high resolution analysis of environmental change; this sub-annual precision consequently facilitates a more detailed and pertinent investigation into the human-environment relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PhD: Mid-Low Latitude Holocene Climate Change using Varve Analysis University Of Nottingham Email Nick Primmer Twitter profile Project Link In 2013, I graduated from the University of Southampton in Geography, with a particularly keen interest in the Holocene\u2019s palaeoclimate.
