Bridget S. Wade is a British micropalaeontologist who is a professor at the University College London.
Her research considers Cenozoic climate change, which she investigates by studying preserved planktonic foraminifera.
[3] After earning her doctorate, Wade was awarded a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) postdoctoral fellowship.
This research resulted in Wade making contributions to the field of palaeontology, including identifying that before the extinction of Eocene planktonic foraminifera there was an increase in the production of surface water, which triggered the loss of algal photosymbionts.
[1] She created a high-resolution astrochronological framework to allow for the characterisation of fluctuations in ice volume (including their magnitude and frequency) and evaluation of their impact on the global carbon cycle.
