Thanks for stopping by my website. My recent news, current research projects and publications can all be found here.
I am an interdisciplinary geologist and Assistant Professor in Earth Sciences at Imperial College London. The overarching aim of my research is to accelerate progress towards meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by quantifying the impact of Earth’s internal dynamics on surface processes.
Currently, I am working to shrink uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise by accurately determining ice volumes during past warm periods, as well as present rates of ice loss. I am also developing new methods to narrow down the search space for ‘supergiant’ metal deposits that will be critical for driving the energy transition. This work is building a more complete 4D picture of Earth’s evolution, helping to resolve outstanding geodynamic controversies including the thermochemical structure of the deep mantle, the composition and dynamics of tectonic plates, and the influence of mantle convection on landscape evolution.
If you have any interest in working with me as part of your undergraduate, graduate or postdoctoral research, I encourage you to get in touch.
Pleased to announce I've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for my project Earth2Sea: Dynamic Earth Impacts on Past, Present, and Future Sea Levels. I'll be recruiting PhD students in the coming months and would love to hear from you if you're interested in working on solid-Earth—ice-sheet interactions!
7th July 2025Congratulations to Luke Broadley and Jay Haley, whose MSci projects, Impact of Late Neogene Dynamic Topography on Antarctic and Greenland Ice-Sheet Stability and What Causes Seafloor Flattening?, received the highest and third highest marks in their year, respectively.
