Sophie Williams

Lecturer (Earth sciences; Environmental sciences)

Durham

I am a lecturer in the Department of Geography, Durham University working on developing high-resolution Common Era sea-level reconstructions using benthic salt-marsh foraminifera. I am interested in ascertaining the driving factors behind recent sea-level change in the absence of instrumental data. My work focuses largely on developing reconstructions for Australia, though I have a wider interest in filling spatial gaps in the Southern Hemisphere.
