Dr Carol Cotterill
Marine and Coastal Geoscientist (UK)

Carol initially trained as a theatre designer, specialising in lighting design, and the effect of colour on the human emotions. However, a rather convoluted path led to re-training as a geoscientist, and working for the British Geological Survey. She now works on many different aspects of palaeoclimate work, habitat mapping and geomorphological interpretations of past landscapes and environments at a national and international level.

“Climate change is affecting everyone on some level. I can see that graphs and figures won’t appeal to everyone, but we have to find a way of getting the message across. Cape Farewell is a superb channel, combining arts and science in a unique way.”
