Research Interests:

• Late Quaternary geochronology - tephrochronology, radiocarbon, Bayesian statistical age modelling
• High-resolution palaeoenvironmental records
• The temporal and spatial expression of past abrupt climatic oscillations and environmental responses
• Development and use of tephrostratigraphic records to refine age uncertainties in palaeoenvironmental records
• Construction of past eruption history from the Anatolian region
• Response of palaeolithic humans to abrupt climatic and environmental change
