Dr Annemarie Pickersgill

I’m a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at the NEIF Argon Isotope Facility, part of the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC).

My research is focused on hypervelocity impact craters, in particular the creation of habitable environments through impact-generated hydrothermal systems, age determination of impact structures, and shock metamorphism.

My current research project is investigating how long impact-generated hydrothermal systems remain active after formation, using a combination of geochronology and numerical simulations.
