Peatland Hydrology
I carried out peatland fieldwork using GPR to detect and map subsurface peat pipes and associated drainage features. I helped plan and run survey lines across target areas, collected and quality-checked radar data in the field, and then interpreted key horizons/anomalies to confirm the presence of peat pipes. I also supported 3D modelling to map peat pipe networks, producing clear outputs (maps, figures, and concise notes) for the client to use in peatland condition assessment and to target restoration or further investigation where it would have the most impact.
Sustainable Grassland Management
I worked as a Project Developer on a Sustainable Grassland Management carbon-sequestration project (Native AG Group), translating VM0032 requirements into a practical implementation plan—defining project boundaries and eligible activities, establishing baseline and additionality logic, and setting out how permanence risk, leakage, and uncertainty would be managed—then built a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) approach consistent with VCS expectations (data collection plan, stratification/sampling rationale, QA/QC, documentation, and audit-ready evidence). The final scope clearly linked methodology-compliant actions to measurable outcomes (carbon sequestration pathway, monitoring indicators, and delivery milestones), providing a robust foundation for validation and future verification.
Collapsed coastal breccias, NE England
A multi-frequency GPR survey across grassed ground above the cliff line helped resolve the hidden architecture of collapse and its lateral variability. I processed the data in ReflexW to convert raw radargrams into clean, interpretable sections—highlighting breccia geometry. Interpretation was guided by transparent velocity assumptions and consistency checks between frequencies. The outcome is a concise, defensible subsurface model suitable for reporting, comparison with surface mapping, and analogue discussion.
Evidence-based risk brief
on offshore fishmeal operations
Conducted a targeted review of publicly available reports relating to navigation and operational incidents involving offshore fishmeal platforms, including cross-checking timelines and identifying inconsistencies across sources. Researched incident and compliance reporting in the fishmeal sector, focusing on navigation-related events and discrepancies between official records and secondary reporting
