With a background in physics and mathematics, Dom turned his attention to the mathematical modelling of complex systems in Earth sciences, in particular aeolian geomorphology during his PhD.\u00a0 Continuing the trend of applying physical and mathematical techniques to problems in geography and environmental science, Dom worked on modelling the migration of trees in response to a rapidly changing climate using paleo-records to constrain the parameters relevant to contemporary and future range shifts.<\/p>\n
