Biography

I am an internationally recognised historical geographer and historian of science, technology and exploration, with a focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I have a strong track record in leading debates in my field, achieved through editorship of books and journal special issues, author of monographs and of journal articles in the top-geography, sociology and history of science journals. I have also served as Editor of Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, which is one of the foremost journals of Geography internationally. My global esteem is recognised through numerous invitations as keynote speaker at international meetings and organisations including the Smithsonian. He was the most recent holder of the National Library of Scotland’s Graham Brown Research Fellowship.

 

I have a number of ongoing, externally funded research projects: 1) the historical geographies of meteorological observatories in nineteenth-century Britain and its empire; 2) the social histories of extreme weather in Scotland since the late nineteenth century; 3) scientific instruments and museum spaces. Previous research projects have examined the historical geographies of geophysics in the polar regions during the Cold War; the histories and heritage of environmental and climate change; and regional scientific cultures in the nineteenth century.
