Research Interests:
My research involves using space-geodetic techniques
to study changes in the Earth caused by different geophysical
processes such as tectonic deformation, climate-driven
variations in sea level and polar ice caps, tidal deformation
etc. Below are some of my research interests:
Antarctic Mass Balance:
The present-day melting of the Antarctic Ice
Sheet is of great relevance to current changes in sea level.
Various factors need to be measured and modelled to address
this issue [Read More ...]

Environmental Geodesy:
Geodetic techniques provide some of the only
means for measuring global geophysical phenomena
that affect the Earth. For example, satellite
altimetry measures global sea level variations
and polar mass balance changes, space-gravity
missions measure ocean currents, continental
water storage, GPS measures "slow earthquakes" ....

Theoretical improvements in analyses of such
data will enable more accurate estimates to
be made and smaller geophysical signals to
be detected.

Crustal Deformation:
Earthquakes, tides (solid-earth, ocean, atmospheric) and
longer timescale visco-elastic effects (e.g. glacial
isostatic adjustment) deform the surface of the Earth.
Regions studied include Antarctica, Papua New Guinea ...
