I am a glaciologist with research and teaching interests in GIS and remote sensing, climate and environmental change, and glaciers and glacial environments.
I studied for an undergraduate degree at the University of Plymouth from 2005-2008 before completing an MSc (by research) at Durham University in 2010, during which I investigated former glacier dynamics in southernmost Patagonia. During my PhD research from 2010-2014 I was based at Queen Mary University of London and the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS, Norway). This work focused on the landscapes produced by active surging glaciers on the High-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard.
I joined the 91ÈÕº«AV as a lecturer in GIS and Remote Sensing in February 2014. I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in December 2015.
<91ÈÕº«AV>Research interests91ÈÕº«AV>My research focuses on surging glaciers, which are glaciological instabilites typically characterised by periodic velocity increases, downglacier mass redistribution and frontal advances. I am also interested in dynamic ice flow and deglaciation of the Quaternary ice sheets, and glacial hazards in high mountain regions. I use a combination of satellite data and fieldwork in my research in the following key areas:
- Surging glaciers
- Structural glaciology
- The timings and dynamics of former ice masses in southernmost Patagonia and the UK and Ireland
- Glacier hazards in high mountain regions
I teach the following topics at all levels from first year undergradaute (Level 4) to masters (Level 7):
- GIS and remote sensing
- Earth observation
- Environmental change
- Glaciers and glacial environments
- Glacier hazards
- Applied geophysics
- Surveying and cartography
- Research methods in Physical Geography and Earth Science
- Fieldwork in Physical Geography and GIS
- Academic study skills
I am currently the MSc Geographical Information Systems Course Leader.
