Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Recent changes in Arctic biogenic sulfur aerosol from a central Greenland ice core.

"I'm exploring how unique sulfur isotope signatures—specifically from biogenic sulfate—can help trace and measure changes in natural sulfur emissions over time."

Dr Yun-Ju (Lorena) Sun

Laboratory Technician

Ice core sulphur isotope measurements

Dr Yang Yu

Research Fellow

Advance our understanding of volcanic forcing during the Common Era by quantifying volcanic stratospheric sulfate loading through cutting-edge sulfur isotope analysis across sulfate peaks in polar ice cores.

Mengwen Yang

PhD Candidate

I study past volcanic eruptions using polar ice cores. I apply mathematical and geostatistical methods to determine the season of past volcanic eruptions and assess the spatial representativeness of their signals across ice sheets. In the lab, I analyse sulphur isotopes in ice cores to reconstruct the climatic forcing of past volcanic eruptions.
