Staff profile

I am a postgraduate researcher interested in glaciation and landscape evolution throughout the Quaternary period, with an emphasis on how glacial and post-glacial processes have shaped landscapes and the subsurface. My earlier research combined geomorphic mapping and numerical ice flow modelling to refine the known extent and dynamics of glaciation in Scotland during the the Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas), as well as investigating contemporary glacier landsystems in Iceland through geomorphic and sedimentological analyses.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master's by Research (MScRes) in Quaternary geology, where I am employing marine geophysical, geotechnical and geomorphic techniques to understand the evolution of the Dogger Bank and southern North Sea throughout the Late Quaternary. While this aims to reconstruct how glacial and post-glacial processes have shaped the geology of the Dogger Bank, it will also assess the implications of these complex subsurface conditions for ongoing offshore wind development. This project is harnessing data collected for offshore wind site investigations on the Dogger Bank, provided in partnership with RWE. At present, I am completing a placement at RWE Offshore Wind, working as a student geophysicist in the Site Characterisation & Ground Modelling team.

My thesis is titled: "Late Quaternary environments of the western Dogger Bank: Glacial and postglacial landscape evolution with implications for offshore wind development".
