Themes

ECRC research can be grouped under two broad headings, climate change and aquatic science, under which fall a number of themes, although there is considerable crossover of both research and personnel between these themes.

Climate Change


  • Recent (instrumental/documentary) period
  • Holocene
  • Glacial-interglacial cycle
  • Longer-term changes

Aquatic Science


  • Environmental change in shallow lake ecosystems
  • Anthropogenic signatures in sediments
  • Environmental change in upland lake ecosystems
  • Environmental Change in transitional waters (terrestrial-marine)
