About Me

I am a Hydrographic Data Processor at Fugro UK, contributing to Marine Site Characterisation through advanced offshore/nearshore geospatial and hydrographic data workflows. Alongside my professional role, I work as an Independent Researcher specialising in Earth Observation, Satellite Remote Sensing, GIS, and Geospatial Analysis, with additional interests in web‑based geospatial development, Earth Observation Systems & Analytics, and Satellite Data Analysis & Applications.

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, I am a Fellow of the Geological Society of London (FGS) and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS). I am also an Accredited Spatial Scientist and a certified UAS/UAV Pilot, reflecting my broader engagement with geospatial science, field operations, and applied Earth Observation research.

Research Projects

🌊 Multi-Sensor Fusion of Sentinel-2 Imagery and ICESat-2 Satellite Laser Bathymetry for Benthic Habitat Classification in Key Largo, Florida Keys
Developed a method to integrate Sentinel-2 imagery and ICESat-2 satellite laser bathymetry for accurate benthic habitat mapping in coral reef areas.
🏞️ Validation of ICESat-2 ATL13 Version 7 Water Surface Elevation on Small High-Latitude Rivers: A Case Study of the River Dee and River Don, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Validated ICESat-2 ATL13 water surface elevation data for high-latitude rivers in Scotland.
🧊 Inverting InSAR Observations to Estimate Basal Melt Rates: A Grounding-Line Response Function Approach
Applied InSAR inversion techniques to estimate basal melt rates of Antarctic ice shelves. Determined the grounding-line hinge position of the Fimbul Ice Shelf using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric data
🛰️🌊 SWOT Ka-Radar and ICESat-2 Altimetry Fusion for Satellite-Constrained Irrigation Water Balance: Evidence from the World's Largest Gravity-Fed Scheme
This study demonstrates a replicable, multi‑satellite method for estimating irrigation water budgets in data‑scarce regions by integrating SWOT and ICESat‑2 water levels with climate, evaporation, and groundwater datasets to quantify flows, assess canal efficiency, and validate irrigation delivery across Sudan’s Gezira Scheme.
