Dr. Rob Wilson (Senior Lecturer)

My main research interests are in the use of tree-rings to reconstruct past climate although I dabble in all forms of dendrochronology.

I have also been known to work with historical and coral data.

Dr. Laura Cunningham (PDRF)

Despite Rob's best attempts, Laura is still more interested in lake sediments.

Laura is a limnologist specialising in diatoms.

NEWS: Alas Laura is leaving us to take up a lectureship in Portsmouth. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Dr.Coralie Mills
(PDRF and commercial archaeologist)

Coralie's research interests lie in the historic interface between humans and woodland, and in using dendrochronology not solely for heritage dating but also to reconstruct human impact on woodland and landscape, and to use this information to inform future management.

Coralie is now funded through the SCOT2K NERC project for 2 days a week.

Cheryl Wood
(PhD candidate and technician)

Aiming to do the impossible - not only working with tropical wood but stable isotopes as well. She has even been known to dabble in trace elements.

PhD Title: Validating Calcium Tracer Based Tree-Ring Dating Method For Tropical Wood

Cheryl is currently funded as a technician through the SCOT2K NERC project
