WHAT I DO AT CSM
- Teaching: Structural geology and tectonics; geological field data acquisition and interpretation, surface and underground geological mapping; geology and resources of SW England / Cornwall; supervision of BSc / MSci / MSc projects. [more]
- Research + Knowledge Transfer: SW England is a resource-rich region and superb natural laboratory. My research addresses all aspects of regional geological evolution, i.e. Variscan / post-Variscan tectonics and its influence on structural geology and sedimentation, magmatism, mineralisation and mineral / geothermal resources, as well as coastal landsliding. I'm engaged in collaborative research and knowledge transfer that contributes to the regional exploration and production activities of companies operating in the minerals and geothermal sectors [more]
