Still high from an amazing Kiel Conference. Meeting old/new colleagues, inspiring talks, and presenting my environmental reconstruction and hominin dispersal modelling work in a session of the HESCOR group - sharing the same goal, but different routes to get there… exited to see how it turns out!

Really productive (and a bit exhausting) day at the HESCOR Working Group Meeting at the University of Cologne today. Discussing different ideas on prehistoric networks and future directions of the Big Exchange Project. 🏺

Excited to announce that I will join HESCOR (Human and Earth System Coupled Research) at the University of Cologne next year.

I will investigate the impact of climate fluctuations on hunter-gatherer migration (45-15 ka BP) in Europe using a high-resolution Human and Earth system coupled model.
