Ellie Pryor

Ellie Pryor serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Bergen, actively contributing to the Quaternary geology and Paleoclimate research groups. Her work focuses on reconstructing Earth's recent geological and climatic history through interdisciplinary field and laboratory studies.

Research Focus: Pryor specializes in Quaternary geology—the study of the last 2.6 million years of Earth's history characterized by glacial cycles and rapid environmental shifts—and Paleoclimate reconstruction using geological proxies like sediment cores and ice records. Her research examines natural climate variability patterns to contextualize modern anthropogenic climate change, with emphasis on Arctic and sub-Arctic regions where glacial dynamics significantly influence global sea-level fluctuations.

Research Infrastructure: She operates within the Quaternary geology and Paleoclimate research groups at the University of Bergen, utilizing specialized laboratories for sediment analysis, radiocarbon dating, and paleoenvironmental modeling. These groups maintain extensive field networks across Norwegian fjords and polar regions for collecting stratigraphic and geomorphological data.

Professional Context: As a postdoctoral researcher, Pryor collaborates with international climate science consortia while developing independent research trajectories. No scientific awards, student supervision records, or grant details were specified in available documentation.
