Earth and Environmental Sciences

Profile

GENERAL INFORMATION:

I am a senior Lecturer in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. My main areas of expertise are Applied Geomorphology and Remote Sensing - mapping and assessing natural resources (mineral deposits, groundwater and soils) and hazardous terrain (flooding, slope stability, trafficability).

TEACHING:

I am unit co-ordinator and Lecturer for:

• Level 2: Economic Geology (2GS216)
• Level 2: Structural and Lithological Analysis (BGS275)
• Level 3: Mineral Exploration (1GS363)
• Level 3: Environmental Remote Sensing (2GS354)
• Level M: Geohazard Data Modelling

I also teach on the following units:

• Level 2: Environmental Geochemistry (1GS210)
• Level 2: Flood Hazard Management (1GS269)
• Level 2: Hydrogeology (2GS276)
• Level 3: Geohazard Management (BGS369)

I co-ordinate a fieldcourse for Level 2 students to Almeria, South East Spain.
