Stacy Carolin

Dr. Stacy Carolin is a Research Associate in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. Her work focuses on reconstructing past climate variability through speleothem analysis, with a particular emphasis on rainfall and temperature patterns in regions like the Yucatán Peninsula, Middle East/West Asia, and the Tropical Indo-Pacific. She employs uranium-thorium dating and stable isotope geochemistry to investigate pre-industrial climate dynamics and their links to societal resilience.

Research interests include quantifying drought frequency/intensity in Mesopotamia and Mesoamerica, investigating large-scale climate forcings (e.g., solar radiation, greenhouse gases, ocean circulation), and collaborating with climate modellers to interpret proxy data in global contexts. Her methodologies emphasize annually-resolved records and multi-proxy approaches.

No specific awards or grants are listed in the provided text. She is affiliated with the Bullard Laboratories at the Department of Earth Sciences, and her work contributes to the Climate Change and Environment research group.
