Biography

I am a glaciologist with research and teaching interests in glaciers and glacial environments, climate and environmental change, and GIS and remote sensing.

I joined the 91¸£ÀûÍø as a lecturer in GIS and Remote Sensing in February 2014 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in December 2015.

  • PhD (Queen Mary, University of London and UNIS), 2010-2014 [Supervisors: Sven Lukas, Doug Benn, Bryn Hubbard]
  • MSc (by research) (Durham University), 2009-2010 [Supervisors: Chris Stokes, Mike Bentley]
  • BSc Geography (University of Plymouth), 2005-2008 [Dissertation supervisor: David Croot]

Research interests

I use a combination of satellite data and fieldwork in my research in the following key areas of glaciology:

  • Surging glaciers
  • Glacier hazards in high mountain regions
  • The timings and dynamics of former ice masses

Teaching responsibilities

I am the MSc Geographical Information Systems Course Leader.

I teach the following topics at all levels from first year undergradaute (Level 4) to masters (Level 7):

  • GIS
  • Earth observation and remote sensing
  • Environmental change
  • Glaciers and glacial environments
  • Glacier hazards
  • Surveying and cartography
  • Academic study skills
