    Specialties of Nigel Thew:
    The study of terrestrial and freshwater molluscs, with the analysis of lithostratigraphy and sediments, to reconstruct past climates and local environments and see how they have changed through time; construct biostratigraphical frameworks that may be useful as a relative dating tool; analyse the effects of human activities on past landscapes; use data about local environmental and climatic contexts to assist in the interpretation of archaeological sites/remains.
