Supervised by Dr. Mikael Attal, Prof. Andy Dugmore and Dr. Linda Kirstein

Latest news

16/4/13 My work will be presented at two conferences this summer: the 10th International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology, 14-19th July in Leeds and the 8th IAG International Conference on Geomorphology, 27th-31st August in Paris. My Supervisor, Mikael Attal, will be presenting on my behalf in Paris as I will be in Iceland collecting further field data.

27/1/13 I was awarded a commendation for the poster I presented at the School of Geosciences annual Graduate School conference held in the Scottish Borders. I will be uploading a copy of the poster shortly.

11/12/12 I have written a brief report about my field work over the summer. You can read it here:

10/10/12 The video diary from my August fieldwork received it's first public viewing - you can watch it here

21/9/12 I gave my confirmation presentation and had my panel interview - slides are available under the presentations page.

9/9/12 I'm back in Edinburgh! Fieldwork part II went well, collected 25 samples for cosmogenic nuclide dating - look out for the video diary, coming soon!

About me

I am currently in my second year of a PhD within the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. I am a member of the Land Surface Dynamics research group, part of the wider Global Change research group. My research interests cover a broad range of geomorphology, particularly the role of large-scale extreme events in shaping our landscape.

To find out more about my current research and work I have carried out previously please use the links to the left of this page. I also publish slides from presentations that I have given during the course of my PhD.

Away from the GeoSciences, I am a big fan of sport, particularly cricket and football (GGTTH!).

Hutton Club

Together with David Milodowski, I have the role of Hutton Club convenor for the academic year 2012/2013. The Hutton Club is a regular seminar series held in the Old Library, Geography Building, on friday afternoons where varied talks take place on all aspects of Physical Geography/GeoScience including, but not exclusively, topics such as Geomorphology, Glaciology and Ecology. If you would like to give a talk, would like to recommend a speaker or would just like to find out more about the Hutton Club, please get in touch with either with myself or Dave.
