Department of Geology, The University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, England, LE1 7RH

Sarah has just started a job as lecturer in geology at the University of Leicester, UK. Prior to this she undertook postdoctoral research work on the Upper Ordovician Soom Shale lagerstatte of South Africa, along with colleagues Prof. R. Aldridge and Dr. H. Theron. At the moment Sarah is especially interested in the geochemistry of black shales and how this has affected the processes of preservation within them. When she is not teaching, digging for fossils or playing with graphs on Excel Sarah can be found playing squash, hill-walking or attempting woodwork.
