Please see the Publications tab for references.\u00a0 In addition to this, I have an interest in science communication projects and have published over 85 web pages, blog posts and other popular and educational articles to date.\u00a0 I also maintain the social media communication channels the BGS Landslides Team uses for research.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sea-background-f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-menu\"><li class=\"active\"><h5><a href=\"#tabs-1\">Biography<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-2\">Research<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-3\">Publications<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-4\">Skills &amp;
