Research Interests
I am a geoscientists with an interest in large-scale groundwater systems, the history of groundwater flow in faults and hot springs, sedimentary basin history and low-temperature thermochronology. I specialise in designing new geoscientific model codes (see my GitHub repository) and integrating these with various datasets, such as groundwater isotopes, subsurface temperature and thermochronology data.
