I completed a MSc in Environmental Monitoring and Modelling at the University of Manchester in 2015 and then went on to complete my PhD in Geography at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in 2019. My research has focused on the impacts of long-term climatic changes and extreme weather events on phytoplankton communities within lakes, using a combination of fieldwork, high resolution monitoring and modelling. I joined the MFRC in 2020 to help develop a framework for characterising oligotrophic lakes in order to help inform conservation and restoration measures with my focus being on developing phytoplankton indicators.
