Research title Biomarkers in snow and ice archives. Summary of research In my PhD project I analyze terrestrial plant waxes in snow and glacial ice. I'm based at Glasgow Molecular Organic Geochemistry Laboratory (G-MOL), but as a part of my PhD project, I spent the winter 2009-2010 at Institute of Low Temperature Science in Sapporo, Japan.
Personal background
I graduated as MSc in Physics in May 2008, from the University of Helsinki. I completed my Master's thesis at Finnish Institute of Marine Research, under supervision of Dr. Jari Haapala. I also have a MA in Finnish Literature, again from University of Helsinki (January 2008). Supervisors Dr James Bendle
Dr Derek Fabel
Dr Jemma Wadham (University of Bristol)
