Charlotte Slaymark is a Quaternary Scientist with a background in analytical chemistry. Her research focuses on carbon cycling, climate change, and past environments, primarily utilizing organic geochemical proxies and compound-specific isotope analysis. Her academic career began as a part-time PhD student while working as a biogeochemistry technician at the University of Glasgow. Charlotte's current research involves the analysis of lake sediments in the United Kingdom, collaborating on studies of peatlands and the marine environment at both molecular and elemental isotopic levels. She is particularly interested in understanding climate and environmental change during the Quaternary Period, developing methods to use organic geochemical isotope proxies to reconstruct palaeo-environments and climates, radiometric dating, and Bayesian age-depth modeling. Her work also explores carbon and methane cycling in marine environments and the processes of carbon sequestration in geological materials. One of her ongoing research projects investigates the hydroclimate response to rapid temperature changes in the British Isles, with insights drawn from the Loch Lomond Stadial.
