Welcome our new BAP team member, Alexandra Vasilyeva

We have a new BAP team member! Alexandra Vasilyeva graduated from the Institute of Earth Sciences, St. Petersburg State University, Russia, and successfully defended her Master’s thesis on pollen analysis under the supervision of Dr. Larisa Savelieva. For her Master's research, Alexandra compared fossil pollen spectra, subrecent (relatively modern) spectra and vegetation composition of the Lake Ladoga Region, Russia, using numerical analyses to reconstruct the vegetation of the region applying pollen-based modelling methods. Her research interests include paleoecological and [...]
