He has just completed a PhD at the University of Birmingham, UK, in which he used the early Palaeogene pollen and spore record of the southeastern United States to document the responses of plant communities to long-term climate change. His next research project will focus on the pollen record of the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming, studying the impact of rapid climate change across the Paleocene\u2013Eocene Thermal Maximum on the formerly subtropical plants of the US Western Interior. An MSc project at the University of Bristol, UK, has also led to an on-going collaboration to determine the evolutionary causes of high-crowned teeth in grassland mammalian herbivores.\r\n\r\nAside from research, Phil enjoys playing the guitar, mandolin and banjo, as well as cooking, reading, walking and (as pictured) taking afternoon tea.\r\n\r\n<h2>Contact Details:<\/h2>\r\n\r\nPhil Jardine, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, United Kingdom.","link":"https:\/\/www.palaeontologyonline.com\/?tag=phil-jardine","name":"Phil Jardine","slug":"phil-jardine","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeontologyonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/tags\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeontologyonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeontologyonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palaeontologyonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts&tags=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
