Research Interests

Ruth’s research has two sides to it: submerged landscapes and shipwreck archaeology. What links them is her interest in using high-resolution geophysical methods for underwater research.  Through seabed mapping, Ruth aims to gain a better understanding of what processes took place on the Irish continental shelf during and after the last Glacial Maximum. With regards to the shipwreck research, Ruth is interested in developing robust and innovative methodologies for the imaging and (3D) visualisation of shipwrecks.

Teaching Interests

Ruth teaches introductory geology and meteorology at undergraduate level on the geography and environmental science degree programmes.

She is the course director for the Environmental Sciences Undergraduate degree.
