I am a Lecturer in Environmental Management in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Plymouth. My research interests include GIS, spatial analysis, population geography, quantitative methods/human geography, and natural hazard risk assessment. I am an ONS Accredited Researcher and member of the ESRC Peer Review College.

My research interests are broadly within the following themes:
I am currently working on the development and application of methods to better understand seasonal population estimates and the PI of the ESRC SDAI project " WatPop: understanding seasonal population change ". This project concerns developing and assessing methodologies for estimating seasonal populations using water meter billing data. Transient and seasonally varying populations (e.g. tourists) have traditionally been difficult to enumerate despite their numbers fluctuating considerably across space and time. This has important implications for planners and policy makers.
Current research interests also include the application of high resolution spatiotemporal population estimates for UK flood hazard scenarios. Traditionally static census estimates have been applied in such scenarios but are often not best suited to hazard analyses alone. The creation of time-specific population estimates can be used to create a more realistic assessment of the distribution of vulnerable populations.
Previously, I have contributed to the development of SurfaceBuilder247 applications, a spatiotemporal population modelling tool. This encompasses the creation of a national open source population dataset for use with the spatiotemporal population modelling techniques currently being developed.
