Research interests
Research interests
My scientific research interests relate to using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for measuring land motion at millimetric levels of precision, including:
- performing precise GPS processing for applications of interest and interpreting the results, including timeseries analysis, offset detection and non-ideal timeseries (campaign data, metadata). Vertical movement is particularly challenging and is very important for understanding sea level change and glacial isostatic adjustment.
- striving to improve measurement of land motion by improving the capabilities of precise GPS processing and our understanding of the errors, particularly higher order ionospheric effects.
I am also part of the GES SPACE research group for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Interests in this area include adapting to Generative AI.
Supervision
I am happy to be contacted by potential PhD or Masters by Research students who would like to discuss a potential topic related to my interests.
Teaching
I teach:
- the GNSS & Geodesy course in the Geospatial MSc programmes (Geospatial and Mapping Sciences/Land & Hydrographic Surveying). GEOG5012
- The work placement course for the MSc Earth and Environmental Futures programmes: GEOG5119
- The student-led 'Introduction to Climate Change & Sustainability' course: GEOG1015
