I am particularly interested in developing collaborations and postgraduate projects around the following themes (in no particular order):

• Hazards and risks associated with deglaciation (e.g. glacial lake outburst floods [GLOFs], landslides)
• The cryosphere as a water resource (glaciers, permafrost, snow).
• Geomorphological responses to deglaciation
• Glacial erosion and sediment transfer
• Public communication of geohazard and risk science

I am a geoscientist with interests in glaciology, geohazards and the geomorphology of mountain environments. Much of my work focuses on understanding the mechanisms that shape landscapes (including glacial, fluvial and mass movement processes), as well as the response of glacial environments to climate change, including geohazards and risks posed by deglaciation (e.g. glacial outburst floods, landslides and water resource issues). You can follow me on LinkedIn, Bluesky or Researchgate for updates on my work.
