My recent interests are in mountain landscape dynamics, particularly how glaciated mountain environments are responding to current rapid climate changes and how they may have responded to similar perturbations in the past. However, I have a broad interest in applied geoscience to all aspects of the natural world including fluvial dynamics, coastal dynamics, ecology, conservation, geohazards, and the challenges these present to human infrastructure. 

I particularly enjoy collecting primary data out in the field to be used in conjunction with secondary topographic and remote sensing data for a wholistic approach to investigating problems and research questions. I have strong fieldwork experience and skills collecting a variety of data in different environments, most recently from the Swiss Alps and Iceland which involved extracting bedrock for thermochronometry, proglacial fluvial monitoring, and UAV and GPR surveying. You can learn more about my recent fieldwork by clicking here. I am a competent mountaineer adept in ropework skills (e.g. crevasse rescue scenarios) which allows me to operate in harsh field environments with confidence. 

In the office, I have a broad range of quantitative skills including: lab work (preparing luminescence samples), numerical modelling (e.g. with iSOSIA, see Egholm et al. 2011), writing and using code in MATLAB and Python, use of GIS and a variety of geospatial data (DEMs, LiDAR, remote sensing, netcdf data etc.), construction of structure from motion models from UAV surveys.  You can see some of the outputs of my work by clicking here. I am also accredited as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) in recognition of my teaching experience at the university level as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.
