About

I am a graduate BSc Geography Student at the University of Exeter on the Penryn campus. My degree course has given me the perfect platform to further my interests in Quaternary Environments, Glaciology and Climatic Change. I have furthered my understanding of these subjects in my undergraduate dissertation, which looks at the range of sediments in Dartmoor National Park in an attempt to identify a glacial and periglacial 'signature'.
