Halley Automation
This innovative, multi-year, project created a suite of autonomous scientific instrumentation around Halley Research Station, enabling data collection even when the station may be unoccupied.
Richard began working at BAS in January 2013 in the Ice Core Laboratories. Since then he wintered at Halley in 2014 as the Atmospheric Scientist and has been south to Halley every year since in a variety of roles.

In 2018 he became Halley Station Leader.
