Dr Ramón Pellitero Ondicol, Teaching Fellow in Geography & Environment, has received a Postdoctoral and Early Career Researcher Exchanges (PECRE) grant to collaborate with Dr Susan Ivy Ochs of ETH Zurich on the dating of glacial deposit samples.
Dr Pellitero Ondicol will first visit the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics in Zurich to process the samples, which will then be dated by Cosmogenic Nuclide dating in their AMS facilities. He will be working with PD Dr Susan Ivy Ochs, who is a world-leading expert in Quaternary Dating Methods, and has extensive experience in cosmogenic nuclide dating and its application in glacial environments.
Dr Pellitero Ondical’s visit continues the previous collaboration of the University of Aberdeen’s Cryosphere and Climate Change group with Dr Ivy-Ochs as part of the Leverhulme Trust funded International Network “Using glacier-climate proxies to model the Younger Dryas climate in Europe".
