Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ

I studied BSc Geological Oceanography here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ and graduated with first class honours in 2022. During my second year, I procured an internship working on the project ‘Developing Proxies for Deep-time Tides’ with Prof Mattias Green, which inspired my following undergraduate research. My third-year dissertation focussed on evaluating the accuracy of tidal model simulations of the Jurassic Laurasian Seaway using geological proxies for tides, under Prof Mattias Green’s supervision. This work served as a proof-of-concept investigation which motivated my MScRes project, which I completed with the same supervisors at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ in 2024.

I am continuing to utilise geological tidal proxies in my PhD Ocean Sciences project at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. Under the supervision of Prof Mattias Green and Dr Jaco Baas, I will combine oceanography and sedimentology to quantify ancient tidal characteristics. Using this, I will constrain and validate global tidal model simulations for the Devonian, Jurassic, and hopefully Cretaceous time periods.

• The North West Science Network is a programme run between Oxford University's Corpus Christi College and schools/colleges in North West England to engage further education students with research-level scientists and promote the consideration of STEMM-related career choices.

  Guest speakers from Oxford and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ Universities discussed their pathways into STEMM and their current research to inspire learners and promote science as a discipline and career.
