BIO

Clare is a senior lecturer in Soil Science and has previously worked as a geoarchaeology consultant. Her research focuses on soil legacies; the evidence of past human activities and natural processes that are retained in the soils. The aims of her research are:

1) to discover histories of past land management and human activity from the legacies retained in cultural soils,

2) to study the implications of past soil legacies for current human health and environmental sustainability, and

3) to develop new methodologies for understanding, monitoring and preserving cultural soil legacies. .

Clare in the WG 2 Leader of COST Action SAGA.
