About Hayley
I am an organic analytical geochemist with an interest in environmental research, specifically that pertaining to the marine carbon cycle. My research expertise is in the application of organic, inorganic, and analytical geochemical techniques to understand modern and paleo carbon cycle dynamics. These interests derive from the application of lipid biomarkers to paleoclimate and modern carbon cycle questions and have expanded to investigating the role of explosive volcanism in modulating climate and as a habitat for microbial life.Teaching
I enjoy teaching and learning about best pedagogic practice, and have been lecturing at the University of Plymouth since 2015, with most of my teaching focussed on analytical, environmental and organic chemistry. I am happy to supervise research projects (BSc, MChem, MSc) in any of these areas. As part of my role, I teach across all stages of the Chemistry degree programme, from Foundation Chemistry to Masters level. I am the Stage 1 tutor for the BSc Chemistry and MChem Analytical Chemistry programmes, and am also the Peer Assisted Learning Scheme (PALS) academic co-ordinator for our Chemistry degrees.
I am currently the module leader for five undergraduate modules:
CHM1011: Practice of Chemistry
CHM1014: Solving Chemical Problems
CHM2015: Analytical Chemistry 2
CHM3013: Advanced Analytical Techniques
CHM3015: Advanced Organic Chemistry
