Angie Turner

Angie has a BSc in Geography, and an MSc in Marine Resource Management. Prior to joining the team at Keele, she spent ten years working in local government. Her first job was as a countryside ranger looking after numerous sites and managing volunteer parties. From here, she moved into the field of Local Agenda 21 and became a senior sustainability officer working on a wide portfolio of projects from policy creation and planning through to community projects focused on climate change.

She moved on from local government and qualified as a garden designer (DipGD) creating a number of private, RHS and community gardens with a focus on local food production and plants with biodiversity benefits. She also worked for the Wildlife Trusts and Learning through Landscapes. She delivered teaching to a wide range of audiences and ran the national citizen science Polli-Nation research project, which engaged over 200 schools across the UK in identifying species and improving their grounds for specific pollinator groups (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/opal/surveys/pollinationsurvey/).

She is in the final phase of her PhD at Keele which focusses on reconstructing relict ice margins linked to the last glaciation in the UK. This uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore inland glacial deposits, with a focus on geochemistry and sedimentology.
