In this episode, Simone and new host Mark speak to Dr Lauren Marshall, a postdoctoral researcher at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. Here, she focuses on understanding the impact that large-magnitude volcanic eruptions have on the Earth’s climate through the use of climate models and the study of ice cores. Lauren has a background in Earth Sciences and Physical Geography, and has previously completed an MSc in Applied Meteorology and Climatology. Her research is helping to improve knowledge of how the different components of an explosive volcanic eruption may affect the climate response, improving the understanding of past and future climate.
