Karl Ljung
Lecturer
I am a lecturer in Quaternary Sciences. My main research interest is in Late Quaternary palaeoclimate, and particularly links between the ocean, atmosphere and biosphere. I am working with a multi-proxy approach, including pollen analysis, biomarker and isotope geochemistry, on peat and sediment sequences from a wide geographic range, including sites in Sweden and the South Atlantic.
