After working at BAS as a paleoclimatologist between 2010-2019, Emilie Capron is now a research scientist at the Institut des Geosciences et de l’Environnement (IGE) in France. Her research aims to reconstruct past climate dynamics by using polar ice core datasets and linking them to other natural archives and to modelling exercises. Using such a multi-archive approach requires her to overcome the major challenge of defining robust and coherent age models amongst the various archives. Her research tackles important questions in the context of Climate Change and its future impacts on socio-economic and natural systems:

• What are the physical processes responsible for triggering past abrupt warming events?
• What are the interactions between climate, polar ice sheets and the carbon cycle during large global warming transitions (deglaciations)?
• What are the regional climate changes, processes and feedbacks during past warm intervals (interglacials)?

Emilie still collaborates closely with members of the Ice Dynamics and Palaeoclimate team at BAS.

3. Climate and Ice during the Last Interglacial

   This project studies the last Interglacial (129-116 thousand years ago, ka) when CO2 and global temperature were both higher than they were before human industrialisation. By examining Last Interglacial climate, we can gain insights into climate processes and feedbacks close to those expected by the end of the 21st century.
