Research interests
Ben is working with the Great North Bog project, with the aim to monitor the restoration of peatlands in the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines. Ben has a background in geomorphology, palaeoecology, environmental and climate reconstruction and palynology geochemistry (stable carbon isotope analysis and biomarker analysis), with an interest in upland environments of the UK, Mediterranean and North Africa.
