Anna MarchPhD studentEmail: a.c.march@qmul.ac.ukRoom Number: Geography Building, Room 104ProfilePublicationsProfileSolicitor (non-practising)Secretary of the Ostracod Group, The Micropalaeontological Society Working title Climate variability during MIS 11 in Britain Research interests Freshwater ostracods, stable isotope analysis, Quaternary, palaeoenvironmental reconstruction PhD research My aim is to create a high-resolution record of climate and environmental change throughout MIS 11, using ostracods from lake sediments from the iconic Quaternary site: Marks Tey in Essex. I am adopting a multiple-proxy approach to ostracod analysis, including faunal assemblage and stable isotope analyses, focussing on the transition from the interglacial to the next cold stage.
