Amy Jewell

Amy joined ITOPF in January 2022. Prior to this, Amy was based at the University of Southampton where she completed an MSci in Oceanography with French, and a PhD in Palaeoclimate & Geochemistry.

Amy focused most of her PhD research on reconstructing Quaternary North African rainfall climate by analysing Saharan dust preserved in marine sediments. Her PhD involved travel across Europe, USA, Canada, Australia & Chile. She also spent several weeks aboard the RRS Discovery in the Southern Ocean carrying out piston-coring and seismic survey operations.
