This funded PhD project investigates what happens on land when temperatures exceed 1.5°C and examines the long-term consequences of climate “overshoot.” The research will combine geochemical datasets with climate model simulations to determine how land systems respond to past, present and future warming. By connecting evidence from different climate periods with modelled future conditions, the project will contribute to improved assessments of the environmental consequences of exceeding 1.5°C of warming. The student will join the Centre for Earth Research and Analysis Southampton (CERAS) and the Geochemistry Research Group at the University of Southampton. The PhD also includes a placement of at least three months at the Met Office, the United Kingdom’s national meteorological service, providing an opportunity to work across academic and national climate-research environments.
