QUEST Leader
Background:
A plant ecologist and palaeoecologist with research ranging over multivariate data analysis, pollen dispersal modelling, vegetation dynamics (including forest succession modelling), palaeoenvironment reconstruction and analysis, and most recently global biosphere modelling, biosphere-atmosphere interactions and the global carbon cycle.
