Biography
Fraser Mitchell is currently the Professor in Quaternary Ecology at Trinity College Dublin. He was appointed to a lectureship in the Botany Department in TCD in 1990. From 1985-1990 he was conducting postdoctoral research as a Higher Scientific Officer in the Grazing Research Division of The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, Edinburgh. He was a postgraduate in the Botany Department, Trinity College Dublin 1982-1985 and was awarded his PhD in 1987. He graduated with a BSc (hons) first class from University College Galway in 1982.

Research Expertise
Description
Fraser Mitchell is a palaeoecologist with research interest in long term environmental change as well as contemporary ecosystems. This has included investigating the impacts of human activity, grazing and climate on temperate forest succession and the drivers of contemporary forest biodiversity as well as investigation of long term climate impacts on peatland ecosystems. His research thus focuses on ecosystem function over immediate and long time scales. The results of this research feed into contemporary conservation management, restoration ecology and climate modelling. Principal funding sources have been EU and Irish government agencies. This has funded research throughout Ireland but also in UK, Spain, Poland, USA, Australia and Thailand.Projects

- ACCROTELM
- Summary
- project will generate continuous records of proxy-climate data from mire sites in transects across Europe, and compare with complementary data on lake-level changes, to focus on episodes of past abrupt climate change. The project will generate a pan-European perspective on climate changes of the past 4500 years, and through study of mire carbon-balance an asssessment of the 'Global Warming Potential' over that period. The benefits include a much clearer perspective on the magnitude, rate, frequency, causes and effects of past climate change in Europe. http://www2.glos.ac.uk/accrotelm/
