About me
I am an interdisciplinary geoscientist specialising in Quaternary geology and geomorphology. My research expertise lies in reconstructing landscape and environmental change, onshore and offshore, using geomorphological, geophysical and Quaternary dating methods. I use a range of analytical tools and techniques to understand, quantify and predict rates of ice-sheet and sea-level change. I collaborate widely with international researchers including numerical modellers, geochronologists, oceanographers, social scientists and equipment developers.

Research (3)
I am a geoscientist studying global change. My research focuses on some of the most pressing questions facing science and society today. I seek to understand rates of ice-sheet and sea-level change, past and present, and determine the long-term stability of ice sheets and ice shelves. My research over the last two decades has helped to enhance our understanding of the evolution and demise of former ice masses, and improve model predictions of ice-sheet and sea-level change.
My current / ongoing research includes:
-
Reconstructing the glaciation and sea-level history of Scotland and the surrounding continental shelf
-
Measuring and understanding modern rates of glacier change in Iceland
-
Non-destructive analysis and characterisation of Quaternary sediments
-
Refining geochronological (surface-exposure dating) techniques
-
Understanding seabed substrate and loading history to advance offshore wind-turbine siting and carbon sequestration science
-
Expanding the evidence base for rapid sea-level change
-
Mapping seabed disturbance in Marine Protected Areas
