Summary
I am a Visiting Research Associate to the British Geological Survey working with Dr Chris Rochelle and Dr Andrew Kilpatrick as part of the GWatt Project. I am based down at the Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow where I work on geothermal energy exploration in SW England and wider UK targets. The project is a collaboration between the British Geological Survey and Heriot-Watt University and strategic partners including Cornwall Council and the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) Project operated by Geothermal Engineering Ltd and GeoScience Ltd
