Profile summary

Professional biography

My research revolves around surface processes and how landscapes are developed on different planets in the solar system. My current research focus is on how recent climate fluctuations on Mars have shaped that planet's surface. Three years of postdoctoral funding through the Leverhulme Trust will enable me to persue this research at the Open Univesity. I use image and elevation data in a GIS (Geographical Information System) to analyse both the 2D and 3D shape of the landscape. On Earth those data are from airborne sensors such as cameras and laser altimeters (LiDAR) and on Mars those data are from satellites. New high resolution data from the HiRISE camera orbiting Mars means new avenues for detailed topographic analysis are becoming available through stereo photogrammetry.

The hidden hazard of melting ground-ice in Northern Iceland
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Oct 201430 Sep 2018NERC - British Geological Survey (BGS)

This project will study the ‘hidden hazard’ posed by melting of shallow ground-ice in mountainous areas. The study is a combination of field measurements and remote sensing observations. The first part of the project is to investigate the ~500 000 m3 Móafellshyrna slide that was caused by melting of perched ice-rich sediments. The next step will be to apply these results to inhabited locations with similar ice-rich debris/mountainous settings. We will combine field geophysical measurements with remote sensing and modelling to investigate specific sites, and produce new empirical models to identify other ‘at-risk’ zones and determine the level of risk.
