Biography
I was appointed as a lecturer in geophysics and geology at Keele in 1987. My first degree was in geology at the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College and I then went on to study earthquake source mechanics at University College Cardiff for my Ph.D. Before arriving at Keele I did some postdoctoral work setting up a seismic network in Brazil and computer modelling sandstone deposition based in Cardiff as well as analysing the French underground nuclear test in Algeria for the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Blacknest.
