An EconoTimes perspective

Christine Batchelor

Lecturer in Physical Geography, Newcastle University

I am a physical geographer with a broad research interest in reconstructing the past extent and behaviour of ice sheets. I am interested in all temporal scales of ice-sheet and climatic change, ranging from annual ice-margin fluctuations, to large-scale advances and retreats of ice sheets during the last ~3 million years. I mainly use marine geophysical techniques to analyse the glacial landforms and sediments that are preserved on and beneath the seafloor.
