Jim is an engineering geophysicist with over 15 years’ experience across the commercial, research and innovation sectors. He obtained his PhD from the University of Bristol whilst working for the British Geological Survey, where he developed novel geophysical approaches to characterise and monitor natural and engineered slopes. Jim’s background is in near-surface geophysics, and the application of geophysical techniques to characterise and monitor the subsurface. He has experience in the delivery of environmental monitoring systems, leveraging novel non-intrusive technologies including geophysical, drone and satellite products to observe and analyse spatiotemporal observations to support data-driven decisions in environmental management. He is an Honorary Research Associate of the British Geological Survey, and is an author on over 50 journal and conference papers. He is Secretary of the Near-Surface Geophysics Group of the Geological Society and an Editorial Board Member of the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology.
