Camilla Speller
Associate Professor
Dr. Speller’s major research focus is ‘Molecular Environmental Archaeology’ – the application of biomolecular techniques to a broad range of environmental issues and human-environment interactions in the past and in the present. Currently, she is working on three areas: Marine Ecosystems; Human-Animal Interactions; and Ancient Microbiomes.
Dr George Rose
Dr. Rose’s research focuses on the history, ecology and management of fisheries. Being a Newfoundlander, his main area of study has been the Northwest Atlantic cod stocks, their spatial ecology and historic productivity. He has a particular interest in survey methods, especially those involving acoustic technology.
