Dr. Bianca Cavazzin is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Physical Geography and an environmental and climate scientist. Her research investigates how landscapes respond to climate change, from drought-prone Canadian Prairies to the degrading peatlands of the Scottish Highlands. She specialises in organic proxies (biomarkers) to reconstruct past climates and trace long-term environmental shifts. Her interdisciplinary work includes collaborations with archaeologists to trace ancient diets and food trade networks in early urban civilizations such as the Uruk Empire.
More recently, she has focused on spatial and statistical modelling to monitor wetland ecosystems and assess their changing capacity to provide vital services under pressure from pollution and warming. Blending fieldwork, geochemical analysis, and computational tools, her work uncovers hidden patterns in Earth’s climatic past and present. Within the AGRI-DRY project, she serves as Chair of Dissemination, Impact, and Outreach. Before her current role, she was a Lecturer in Organic Geochemistry at the University of Glasgow and worked as a Mass Spectrometry Scientist at the British Museum.
