Hayley Manners

Dr Hayley Manners is a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at the University of Plymouth, affiliated with the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She specializes in environmental and organic geochemistry, focusing on the marine carbon cycle and volcanic impacts on climate.

• Teaching: Lectures on analytical, environmental, and organic chemistry since 2015.
• Research: Applies geochemical techniques to study paleoclimate, tephra layers, and iron isotopes in marine sediments.
• Leadership: Module leader for five undergraduate chemistry modules.

Research Trends: Recent work explores tephra-hosted iron isotopes, carbon preservation in marine sediments, and interlaboratory comparisons for geochemical proxies, reflecting interdisciplinary ties to geochemistry, volcanology, and environmental science.

Scientific Awards:

• Fellow of the Geological Society (FGS)
• Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC)

Advising & Collaborations: Supervises BSc, MChem, and MSc research projects, with collaborations across Earth and Planetary Sciences. No explicit grants mentioned.
