Daniel Parsons

Daniel Roy Parsons is professor of process sedimentology at the University of Hull.[1] He is also a visiting professor at the University of Leeds.[2] He obtained his PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2003.[3] Parsons has claimed that the most significant marker for the Anthropocene age may be the fossilisation of plastic debris such as formed in plastiglomerate.[4]
