My research interests are in geodiversity conservation, sustainable development, public understanding of how planning policy influences geodiversity and habitat conservation in general, Quaternary and past climate change, extinctions and all aspects of women in history of science. I also carry out research in geodiversity, local history and implementation as well as in soil conservation. Thus my research interests support my broad interpretation of conservation especially geoconservation, environmental issues and the importance of geodiversity underpinning biodiversity.

I have six completed PhD students specialising in mass extinctions, limestone pavement microclimates and women in science . I also supervise Masters research on Lanzarote geo and bio conservation and the link between nutrition and geodiversity.

I have published over 100 articles, chapter and books. I publish in 4 main areas

• Geoconservation & Geodiversity
• History of science & Quaternary Geology
• Gender studies Especially Women in science
• Pedagogy and education
