Research title: Speleothems in Scottish sea caves

Research Summary

My research is focused on the study of Scottish speleothems to reconstruct paleoclimate and relative sea-level change.

 

I use geochemical methods like multi collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Scanner, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to date speleothem samples and identify elemental changes of them. Through analysing these data and characteristics of speleothems, I hope to better understand some past climatic events and reconstruct paleoclimate change.
