  • Research Associate (School of Geographical & Earth Sciences)

Research interests

Dr Tara Jonell investigates how climate change shapes waterways and landscapes. To understand their co-evolution, I use field observations, sediment datasets and satellite measurements of topography. To bridge gaps between geological and modern observations, I further incorporate historic evidence from early maps, archaeology and hydro-meteorological chronicles into my research.

She joined the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences in August 2021 as a Research Associate, collaborating on the 2021-2024 Leverhulme Trust project “Away from the Water: The First Energy Transition, British Textiles 1770–1890” with Prof Emer Paul Bishop (UG GES), Dr Adam Lucas (University of Wollongong), Prof Simon Naylor (UG GES), and Dr Peter Jones (Nottingham Trent).
