Staff Lead researchers Emeritus Professor Alan Kemp Research interests Diatom ecology and palaeoecology and the role of diatoms in biogeochmical cycling High resolution records of palaeoclimatic and environmental change, especially from laminated… Interannual to decadal scale climate variability Connect with Alan Email: aesk@soton.ac.uk Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups Palaeoceanography and Palaeoclimate Humans are now the main cause of climate change on Earth. We work all around the world to understand how Earth's climate system works naturally. We use what we learn about past changes in climate, to predict the ways in which Earth will respond to human-driven change in the coming decades. Research outputs
