Biography

Claire Goulsbra, a Lecturer in Physical Geography at the University of Manchester, has been involved in extensive research centered around hydrology and geomorphology, particularly focusing on the effects of climate change on peatland ecosystems in the South Pennines. Her ongoing work investigates greenhouse gas emissions associated with non-gaseous losses and the fate of particulate and dissolved carbon within peat systems. Claire's academic journey includes completing her BSc in Geography, MSc in Environmental Monitoring, Modelling, and Reconstruction, and a PhD on monitoring the connectivity of hydrological pathways in peatland headwater catchments. Her research is characterized by innovative monitoring techniques using digital terrain analysis, contributing significantly to the understanding of carbon flux in eroding peatland systems.
