Research Interests
I am a marine geoscientist, interested in applications of ocean mapping methods and computational modelling. I use acoustic imaging to detect, quantify and understand change in anthropogenic, geomorphological, geoarchaeological and biophysical environments. A better understanding of these processes allows us to inform policy makers and develop mitigation strategies to minimise loss in the face of increasing natural and human forcing. Current and recent projects include:

2011-14: Late Glacial Sea Level Minima in the Western British Isles
PI: A Cooper. Co-Is: D Jackson and R Quinn
Funding: NERC, £716k
Teaching Interests
I teach aspects of marine systems, remote sensing, GIS, spatial mapping and maths on the marine science, environmental science and geography degrees, and co-ordinate final year dissertations.
