I am a Marine and Petroleum Geologist and Lifetime Member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), having gathered extensive field and offshore experience throughout my career. I am an active committee member of the Energy Group @ the Geological Society of London.

Sustainable ways of producing Geoenergy that include carbon sequestration, hydrogen and geothermal solutions, environmental aspects of coastal and marine areas, and the de-risking of petroleum E&P prospects, are key themes of my research. I am also part of Stanford University's list of the top 2% scientists worldwide - Ioannidis et al.

I lead the 3D Seismic Laboratory, in which a range of datasets is used to understand how sedimentary basins evolve from early rifting to their 'passive' and 'subduction' phases. I undertake project and consultancy work, including environmental studies concerning hydrocarbon-bearing regions and areas posed for GeoEnergy solutions, some of which leading to the supervision of PhD projects sponsored by research councils and industry worldwide. Key study areas include (but are not restricted to): Canada, New Jersey, SE Brazil, Equatorial Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Africa, Gulf of Mexico, South China Sea, West Iberia, France, E Mediterranean, North Sea, West Shetland and Ireland, Norway, Barents Sea, Pakistan, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. I completed and delivered a REF2021 case study on the environmental impact of hydrocarbon exploration on continental margins: 'Addressing the environmental impact of hydrocarbon extraction on continental margins'.
