Determining the Impact of Fire on Aeolian Processes in Partially Vegetated Dune Landscapes

Rosie (she/her) is a doctoral candidate specialising in aeolian geomorphology, focusing on the interactions between fire and wind-driven processes in the Kalahari Desert. Her current research explores how fire impacts wind erosion dynamics and dust emissions, using a hybrid approach that combines remote sensing with on-the-ground measurements. This approach allows her to quantify fine-scale relationships influencing soil erodibility in post-fire environments. Her broader research interests include geomorphology, sedimentology, aeolian processes, remote sensing, sediment transport, and dust dynamics.

Before beginning her doctoral studies at Oxford, Rosie was a student-athlete at Arizona State University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Geography. She then returned to the UK to complete a master’s in Polar and Alpine Change at the University of Sheffield.
