PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY
- Understanding climate change in the last 21,000 years with a view to improving our ability to understand the causes and predict the effects of present and future climate change.
- Development and application of new isotopic techniques for investigating the climate information recorded in the remains of plant material in peat bogs. This work is associated with a
NERC RAPID
project
ISOMAP-UK
(see final RAPID brochure here ) and ongoing projects: PRECIP and PATAGON, both supported by NERC.
- Working with numerical modellers to validate models used to predict future climate against the yardstick of past climate change data (NERC QUEST, NERC RAPID and NERC PATAGON)
CLIMATE-CARBON CYCLE INTERACTION
- The investigation of changes in the carbon cycle with past climate change through 1) the synthesis of carbon isotope data from bones and sediments ( NERC QUEST grant - QUEST Deglaciation ) and 2) through analysing the efficacy of peatlands in sequestering carbon, exploring the relative roles of methane derived- and atmospheric- carbon dioxide in bog plant growth (supported by the Royal Society).
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION
- Working with industry (e.g. Ecocities project ) and the public sector in the development of climate policy and practise to support the management of climate change adaptation (please click here for info on business conference address)

Royal Society Grant : Quantifying carbon cycling in peatlands under different hydrological conditions - £10,040 - to TJD - PI (December 2011 - November 2012)
Awarded October 2011
Peatlands sequester carbon, but it is unclear how much of this is drawn from atmospheric carbon dioxide or recycled from methane. Peatland re-wetting has become a widespread land management practise in response, in part, to the potential for carbon sequestration. This project will test how past bog hydrology influenced this sourcing of carbon for the growth of Sphagnum mosses. The project will have implications for the efficacy of peatland restoration as a tool for mitigating atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions and therefore have implications for global carbon farming and carbon credit trading. Outputs from the work will be exchanged directly with stakeholders through the University's new Institute, the ISSR.
NERC Standard Grant: PATAGON (Palaeoclimate reconstructions from Tierra DelFuego to detect Land-Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions) - £796,000 (£45,000 to TJD - Co-I) (October 2011 - September 2014)
Awarded August 2011
This grant brings together partners from the Universities of Aberdeen, Southampton and Swansea with Plymouth University to investigate variations in climate in Tierra del Fuego over the last 2000 years. The team will be looking to track past variations in the latitudinal position and intensity of the Southern Hemisphere Westerly wind belt over this time period from its hydroclimatic and stable isotopic footprint recorded in the sub-fossil remains of plants and amoebae in peatland sediments. Through comparison with data from an ongoing NERC grant (PRECIP) based in NE North America and involving the same team members, we aim to test for interhemispheric climate linkages. We want to see if climate at the southern end of South America varied in phase, out of phase, or was irregularly related to changes in the mid-latitude North Atlantic region.
