It is a thrilling experience as so little of our marine environment has been explored. I am interested in the solid Earth (rather than the water itself) and study how the top few tens of kilometres (from the seabed downwards) formed and evolved over time. A central theme throughout my career has been the relationship between tectonics and magmatism. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;line-height: 115%;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">My early work involved mapping the magmatic plumbing beneath mid-ocean ridges (the longest chain of volcanoes on the planet) and the response of the oceanic lithosphere to loading by volcanic islands such as the Canaries. More recently I have studied the pattern of volcanic rocks erupted along the continental margins of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans in order to determine the thermal conditions during breakup. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;line-height: 115%;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">A second theme of my research is at a smaller scale and has been focussed mainly on the north-west European shelf. I conducted the first ever multibeam bathymetry survey within UK territorial waters which led to the discovery that catastrophic megafloods separated Britain from Europe. I am also interested in the application of acoustic methods for biological habitat mapping as a way of both quantifying the resources there and also protecting them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a marine geophysicist which means I mainly conduct my research from ships using specialist remote-sensing equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1220,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
