Aerogroup Gravity
Biography
My main interest lies in investigation of the geological and tectonic evolution of Antarctica, using airborne geophysical data. This has led to publications in a broad range of fields including crustal architecture, mountain uplift, magma emplacement, and geothermal heat flux. I have also worked and published on the geomorphological investigation of the hidden sub-ice topography of Antarctica, and deriving the bathymetry hidden beneath floating ice shelves from gravity data.
Since completing my DPhil at Oxford University in 2007 on Gravity Anomalies, Flexure, and the Long-term Rigidity of the Continental Lithosphere, I have worked at the British Antarctic Survey as an aerogeophysicist. My role includes collection, processing and interpretation of a range of airborne geophysical data, including magnetic, gravity and radar data. I have participated in seven Antarctic field seasons, including working as field science leader, responsible for flight planning, prioritisation and overseeing data quality control. This work has included successful collaboration with a range of international and UK academic partners. I also helped run the successful UK airborne surveys, and have taken part in an Antarctic marine Geophysical cruse.
Most recently I was the lead scientist for the SWARM project, demonstrating the use of the Windracers Ultra UAV for environmental science data collection. This project confirmed that large UAVs can successfully collect a range of environmental data over a relativley wide area, while operating alongside traditional crewed aviation in Antarctica, paving the way for new and innovative methods of data collection into the future.
