Current Teaching:

GAP2052 Geomorphology
GAP3051 Glacial and Periglacial Geomorphology

Current Research: Environmental Change

My research interests lie in the application of remote sensing and GIS methods within the fields of glaciology and Quaternary environmental change, with particular focus upon the dimensions, dynamics and distribution of both modern- and palaeo-glaciers. I also have interest in applying remote sensing methods to the study of landscape evolution, particularly where glacial and volcanic processes have dominated.
