2020-2021, Research and Laboratory Assistant, British Antarctic Survey Following my master’s degree I spent a year at BAS as a research and laboratory assistant working on marine sediment cores in the Palaeoenvironments, Ice Sheets, and Climate Change team. 2016-2020, BA, MSci Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge For my MSci research project I studied cation exchange in some of Earth’s major river basins, and the implications cation exchange may have for estimates of global silicate weathering flux and associated long-term carbon consumption. We found that ion-exchange reactions between ancient clays and contemporary river waters have compromised weathering estimates based on river chemistry, resulting in a global overestimation of silicate weathering fluxes by up to 28%.
