Scott Diuguid McLin has joined the ERC REVIVE project as a PhD student in geoarchaeology having completed his MSc in Quaternary Sciences & Geoarchaeology at the University of Cologne. His previous research includes the study of site formation processes and potential past behavioral patterns using point pattern spatial statistics at an Upper Paleolithic site in Southeastern Europe. His areas of interests include human-environment interactions and landscape evolution. Whilst undertaking his PhD, Scotty is conducting speleothem research, employing isotopic studies, micormorphological techniques, µXRF, and SEM to enhance the understanding of sedimentary processes. He integrates these data with computational models to unravel past environmental dynamics and human responses. He is supervised by Dr. Sireen El-Zaatari (University of Tübingen) and Dr. Christopher Miller (University of Tübingen).
