Introduction
My main research interests are seismic geomorphology, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, sea level change and salt tectonics using seismic, borehole and outcrop data.
My current research within the Lost Frontiers Project using marine geophysics and borehole data to reconstruct Early Holocene palaeoenvironments and evaluate archaeological potential in the southern North Sea and Cardigan Bay.

This paper describes some results of the research undertaken over the Brown Bank area during recent (2018/2019) geoarchaeological surveys in the North Sea which included seismic imaging, shallow (vibro)coring and dredging. It examines the benefits of simultaneous high-resolution (0.5 – 1m) and ultra-high-resolution (10 – 20cm) seismic survey techni...

Session Abstract Co-organised session: GM1.3/CL1.28/CR2.10/SM1.7/SSP2.19 Integration of seismic geomorphology, stratigraphy and borehole data in palaeo-environmental reconstruction Submissions are welcomed to this inter-disciplinary session from a range of geological settings, thus, exposing seismic interpreters and non-specialists to differing geo...
Geometries of Early Pleistocene [2.58 to 0.78 million years (Ma) ago] ice sheets in northwest Europe are poorly constrained but are required to improve our understanding of past ocean-atmosphere-cryosphere coupling. Ice sheets are believed to have changed in their response to orbital forcing, becoming, from about 1.2 Ma ago, volumetrically larger a...
The onset of the Quaternary (2.58 Ma) corresponds to significant paleo-environmental events, such as the intensification and southward extension of Northern Hemisphere glaciation. In the North Sea Basin a significant late Cenozoic succession has been identified as a high-resolution archive of paleo-environmental changes during the Pliocene and Plei...
After more than half a century of research, the dynamics of salt tectonics in the North Sea remains a contentious issue with unresolved questions regarding triggering and driving mechanisms. The North Sea is now covered by high-quality 3D seismic datasets which allow new insights into the interplay between salt tectonics and sedimentation. These in...
