Subject Area
Marine Geology
Geophysics
Activities
My research interests include various aspects of Quaternary geology and glacio-eustatic sea levels (in particular submerged aeolianite/beachrock complexes; carbonate diagenesis; shoreface-attached ridges and the Holocene sediment wedge, and the regional interpretation sub-seafloor continental shelf geology by the application of sequence stratigraphy). These studies are carried out by the integration of stratigraphic relationships between units using high-resolution geophysical data and complimentary geological mapping offshore by SCUBA diving.
Skills
Experienced in the use of multibeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar, seismic profiling systems and a qualified scientific diver;
Computer skills include the use of geophysical post-processing software, GIS systems;
Seafloor sedimentological studies;
Geological modelling of the shelf environment
