Dr Charlotte Hall joined SCRT in November 2015 as Development Officer for the Coniston & Crake HLF Project. Prior to this, Charlotte was at the Earthwatch Institute, coordinating and delivering a citizen science project on freshwater quality. Charlotte has a research background in lake sediment chemistry, and consultancy experience in the chemistry and ecology of all freshwater environments. She is interested in how science is communicated and enjoys working with volunteers from all sorts of backgrounds. Charlotte is looking forward to working with the local community in the Coniston and Crake catchment area and to getting to know the Lake District a lot better!
