RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on applications of advanced geotechnical and geophysical tools and on the development of high resolution near surface geophysical technologies. I apply my research to a range of engineering and environmental issues including: The effect of climate variation on geotechnical infrastructure and natural slopes, offshore foundation solutions for marine renewables, wastewater contamination and peatland restoration.
