I am a NERC funded DPhil student investigating new methods to detect the effects of ground level ozone exposure on tree health, supervised by Elizabeth Jeffers and Felicity Hayes. This project is in partnership with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and supported by the NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility. We are using a combination of satellite data, UAV spectroscopy and tree physiology to understand how ozone damage scales from local to global vegetation. I am also currently doing a research internship at Kew Gardens supervised by James Borrell investigating climate velocity for steep slope agriculture. Prior to my PhD I worked on the evolution of early land plant rooting systems supervised by Alexander Hetherington.
