I am a quantitative physical geographer researching hillslope processes and cascading hazards. As a geographer I maintain an active interest in the links between hazard and risk, with an applied focus on how we can reduce risks using monitoring and modelling.

My current research interests are:

Hazard cascades in mountainous terrain: GLOFs, ice-rock avalanches
Supraglacial landslide detection and tracking
Landslide and moraine dam stability, and the resulting landslide-dam outburst and glacial-lake outburst floods (LSOF / GLOF)
Low-cost streaming monitoring systems to both warn of increased landslide threats, and, to detect in near real-time landslides occurring
