    Biography

    Lisa is a palaeoclimatologist working in ICARUS (Irish Climate Research and Analysis Unit),a physical geography lecturer in the Department of Geography and co-director of the MSc Climate Change.  

    Lisa’s research uses sedimentary archives to develop reconstructions of past climate and environmental change. This includes analysing sediments from peat cores to develop reconstructions of past storminess and carbon accumulation, and using marine sediments to investigate past sea surface temperature.

    Lisa is currently P.I. on two projects, working with a growing team of postdoctoral researchers and PhD students.

    In 2022 Lisa was awarded funding by the Irish Research Council for the 2.5 year project ‘Holocene Storminess in Ireland (HoStIr)’, which is investigating how and why storminess changed in Ireland over recent millennia, using geological archives and climate model simulations. The project website can be found at https://www.holocenestorminess.com/

    In 2022 Lisa was also awarded funding by Science Foundation Ireland for a 4 year project ‘Past Carbon Accumulation by Irish Blanket Bogs (PCARB)’, which is analysing peat cores from a range of sites to assess the impact of changes in climate on blanket bog carbon accumulation rates.
