    My Work:

    I’m a geographer looking at hazard and risk from landslides, glacial lake outburst floods. I often carry out this work in glaciated regions and high mountains and it involves monitoring, modelling, mapping and putting numbers on ‘How big? How often?’ and ‘What do we do about it?’

    My Work:

    I use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to make maps. I use satellite imagery , aerial photos, drones and laser scans to make 2D maps and 3D models. I’ve mapped locations all over the world but specialise in deserts. Fieldwork to check the mapping accuracy is always the most fun!

    My Work:

    In my work I am researching methods to create nano (very small!) platinum structures. These are used in fuel cells, which use hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity, to make reactions happen faster. This is important research because it allows us to create electricity without burning fossil fuels and can reduce the impact of climate change.

    As a Geographer working in video games, I pioneered the practice of “culturalization”, effectively helping game creators navigate complex cultural and geopolitical issues to maximize the global reach of their games. This focus includes the content in the game worlds themselves, as well as how that content may be perceived across various cultures.

    I use data from rivers, weather stations, and satellites—plus computer models—to help plan who gets water, when, and how much. My research supports fair water allocation, smarter reservoir operation, and drought preparedness so that towns, farms, and nature have enough water even as climate changes.

    My Work:

    Every day working with the Environment Agency is different.  One day I may be giving a talk to members of public about an environmental topic or to farmers about some new regulations or I may be taking water samples or attending an environmental pollution incident with the local Fire and Rescue Service.  I use my mapping skills to help others understand  an issue and I may use satellite images to locate fields which may be taking  too  much water when the area may be in drought.  I do a lot of analysing of water samples  which I may take or which may have  come back from our laboratory.
