Rachel McDonald
Research title: A Palynological Study of Flanders Moss
Research Summary
My Mres concerns land-use within Scotland, with a particular focus on peatlands using palynology alongside other paleoenvironmental proxies to build landscape narratives with reference to socio-ecological relationships. I have a keen interest in the connection between peatlands as a historical human resource and the climate iniatives surrounding their restoration.
