2020-2021: MSc Geochemistry University of St. Andrews
2015-2019: BSc Hons Geology and Petroleum Geology University of Aberdeen
My research interests lie in coral calcification processes. My MSc focused on the effects of nutrient pollution and ocean acidification on biogenic analogue aragonite precipitation.
My current research aims to develop our understanding of Scleractinia biomineralization processes though boron isotopic analysis.
Research project: How do corals make their skeletons? Insights from boron geochemistry.
