Staff Profile

Role at ANSTO


Stephanie's research is focused around Quaternary techniques and methods with a focus on water systems, environmental health and landscape processes. Her experience with luminescence dating will complement her work with geochronological techniques including Lead-210, radiocarbon and cosmogenic nuclide dating in IER. She is currently associated with three tasks: Nuclear Methods in Earth Systems, Isotopes for Water and Isotopes in Climate Change and Atmospheric Systems.

 

Expertise


Fluvial geomorphology, luminescence dating, Quaternary landscape processes.
