In 2018, I was awarded £250 as part of the British Geophysical Association (BGA) outreach fund to help support my prison education project, Think Like A Scientist. This blog post describes what I did with the award!

Delving into the Earth’s deep interior: the future of plate tectonics? (5 min read)
The theory of plate tectonics has been in the mainstream of science thinking for the past 50 years. At such a milestone it is appropriate to see how far things have come and indeed what is still left to discover.

Delving into the Earth’s deep interior: the future of plate tectonics?
The theory of plate tectonics has been in the mainstream of science thinking for the past 50 years. At such a milestone it is appropriate to see how far things have come and indeed what is still left to discover. Our planet is yet to reveal all it’s secrets… especially regarding the Earth deep below the surface.

Invited Talk: 7th Nov 2017
I’ll be heading to the University of Aberdeen‘s School of Geosciences on the 6th and 7th November to give a departmental seminar and to hold discussions on numerical modelling.
Invited talk: 28th Sept 2017
In September 2017, I had the pleasure of visiting The Centre of Earth Evolution and Dynamics at the University of Oslo in Norway.
Plate tectonics: new findings fill out the 50-year-old theory that explains Earth’s landmasses

Fifty years ago, there was a seismic shift away from the longstanding belief that Earth’s continents were permanently stationary.
Geophysics research blog
Hi everybody.
This will be my geophysics research blog. I’ll be posting short pieces highlighting interesting developments across a range of fields of geophysics.
The information distributed will be based on what I find interesting and that is often dictated by what is playing on the old ghetto blaster that sits in the office.
There will be more to follow, stay tuned!
