This project investigates how palaeoecological archives can be used to inform nature recovery strategies in the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage site. Focussing on the Lyth and Winster River catchments in the southern part of the Lake District, the project will develop in ...
The environment clearly has a huge impact on human health both now and in the past. A knowledge of the effects of environmental conditions, and change, on the health of early historic communities in Scotland and Ireland has the potential to inform critical components of modern human health in the ...

Using state-of-the-art intra-tooth laser ablation strontium isotope analysis, and targeting the preserved remains of cave bears (and brown bears) from selected Late Pleistocene European sites, this project will undertake the first targeted investigation of cave bear spatial ecology. Strontium ...
The main aim of this project is to explore past biodiversity in North-eastern Scotland using metabarcode (e.g., 12S) and metagenomic sequencing of ancient DNA extracted from lake sediments and peat bogs, with special emphasis on the period spanning the 5th to 11th centuries AD (also known as the ...
