I am a first year PhD student based at UKCEH Lancaster, where I am investigating mineralogical controls on the stability of Soil Carbon. I have a background in environmental geoscience as an undergraduate and masters student, where I assisted in a whole ecosystem approach to investigate the effects of elevated CO2 on an mature deciduous […]

PhD: Complementary strategies for the sustainable management of an invasive pest in Africa Current Research: Throughout my PhD, I will investigate if the Fall Armyworm moth (Spodoptera frugiperda) competes with the African armyworm moth (Spodoptera exempta). Both moths threaten African food security as their caterpillars feed on many crops, including maize. S. frugiperda, native to […]

Rebecca Robertson

As a PhD student at Durham University, my work covers active tectonics, structural geology, geomechanics, and geochemistry. My project aims to refine understanding of reactions occurring on faults during earthquakes, with a focus on fluid-rock exchanges. Research questions include: how do coseismic reaction products effect fault strength and, are there isotopic signatures to mechanical processes? […]
