Research interests

  • Seafloor and shallow sub-seafloor geological characterisation…geomorphology quite useful in this respect!
  • Quaternary history and glacial processes on NW European Shelf – implications for commercial, conservation, and policy interests
  • Seafloor habitats; geomorphic features relating to continental shelf, shallow and mesophotic coral reef, and Arctic ecosystems
  • Former glaciation of the Arctic ocean; Tectonic evolution of Amerasian Basin
