Summary<\/h2>\n

I have more than 40 years experience with Managing and collecting samples, mainly but not exclusively offshore, where I have taken part in sea bed sampling and shallow borehole drilling project for the BGS offshore mapping programme of the UK Continental Shelf.<\/p>\n

I have also been involved in a number of commercial projects drilling in the North Sea, north Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean and scientific projects from the North Pole to Antarctica. I am a drilling co-ordinator in ESO, the European arm of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), completing expeditions around the globe.<\/p>\n

Onshore, I have supervised percussion drilling contracts and carried out our own drilling using a hand portable rig I helped design.<\/p>\n

Prior to their relocation to Keyworth in 2012, I managed the BGS Scottish Borehole Collection, the Offshore sample archive and the UKCS hydrocarbon core. I formulated a plan and managed a team over 20 months to photograph and relocate the UKCS samples comprising over 175,000 boxes of core and cuttings from Edinburgh to Keyworth.<\/p>\n

In addition to these we also relocated almost 30,000 boxes of collected by BGS during our Offshore Regional Mapping programme. In 2015\/16, the experience gained was used to managed a team to relocate the remaining samples held in our Edinburgh office to our new office at the Lyell Centre. These 15,000 trays were scanned for radioactivity, given a condition survey, weighed and databased to produce a full inventory of our holdings, including where they are located in the new stores.<\/p>\n

I now have a management role in the NGR working with the staff based in Edinburgh and Keyworth who curate, database and make available the samples and specimens we hold.<\/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
