Harriet Mercer

I am an historian of nineteenth-century Australia and the British Empire. I completed my PhD at the University of Oxford in 2021 and currently hold a postdoctoral research position as part of the Making Climate History project at the University of Cambridge. Within this project, I'm helping to research the diverse range of actors involved in producing climate knowledge over the last 200 years. I have a particular interest in understanding the changing ways atmospheric data has been collected, analysed, and represented over time.
