Biography
I am a geologist with a current focus on using marine geophysics to understand past landscape evolution and glacial dynamics. Using datasets collected by the offshore wind industry for site investigation, I study the stratigraphy and sediments of the subsurface. Seismic reflection profiles, needed to characterise ground conditions for cost-effective wind turbine foundation placement, reveal the recent geological history of the submerged landscapes. Dogger Bank, in the North Sea, tells stories of the margin of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet, then a landscape dominated by marshes and rivers, followed by sea-level rise inundating the land and changing coastal dynamics.
