Long-term human–environment dynamics

My research connects ecological archives, archaeological evidence and spatial modelling to study how landscapes are reorganized by climate, hydrology, subsistence, infrastructure and institutions.

Egyptian coastal lakes

Long-term reconstruction of Lakes Manzala, Burullus and Mariut using sedimentary, palynological, diatom, geochemical and chronological archives, with emphasis on rates of change, historical ecological baselines and lagoon-catchment resilience.

Nile Delta resilience

Multi-site synthesis of palaeoenvironmental, archaeological and human-impact records to test asynchronous transitions, connectivity, resilience and institutional change across Predynastic and Dynastic Egypt.

Early farming in Lower Egypt

A multi-proxy framework distinguishing domesticate presence from increasing dependence on cultivation by integrating archaeobotany, pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, zooarchaeology, hydrology and settlement evidence.
