Jamie Pringle

Biography

I was appointed as a Lecturer at Keele University in 2006 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2014. I was awarded the William Smith Fund (Award) by the Geological Society of London in 2012 which is awarded to "for published excellence in contributions to applied and economic aspects of geoscience" within 10 years of their PhD. I am currently part of the MSc Geoscience Research course management team.

Whilst originally a geologist (BSc Geology Royal Holloway 1996) and applied sedimentologist PhD Heriot-Watt University 2003), my multi-disciplinary quantitative research has moved from capturing architectural geometries of reservoir analogues (Research Fellow Liverpool University 2004-5), through to near-surface geophysics (Reynolds Geo-Sciences Ltd 2003-4), military and now forensic geoscience, specialising in forensic geophysics. Teaching commitments also form a large part of my duties, teaching on all Levels from school visits and outreach, through to UG, PGT and PGR programmes. I gained my MA in Teaching and Learning in HE from Keele in 2012 and have been developing various educational e-games as complementary learning environments (see publication list).

I am part of the Applied & Environmental Geophysics Group here at Keele. I am also a committee member of both the Near-Surface Geophysics and Forensic Geoscience Specialist Sub-Groups of the Geological Society of London and actively collaborate with the UK Police Service's National Crime Agency, various UK Police Service County Forces and the Environment Agency. Finally I am a scrutineer on the Chartership Panel of the Geological Society of London.

Research and scholarship

I have diverse areas of research, including engineering, environmental geology and geoscience, applied near-surface geophysics (including forensics), quantitative sedimentology, spatial data analysis, visualisation and virtual outcrops, petroleum reservoir modelling and military geology and archaeology. Such diverse interests allow me to investigate a variety of research and student projects which enriches my teaching.

I am part of the Applied & Environmental Geophysics Group.

Outreach

I am fully committed to outreach and widening participation and am involved in a variety of deliveries throughout the year, being nominated for Keele WP outreach academic contributor for the last 4 years.

My standard interactive talk/demonstration is: 'How to find a dead body' which goes down well for 12+ ages, and have also recently developed a 'Mining in WW1' talking about how geology and mining in Flanders, so please get in touch if you want either of these.

Together with Keele and Staffs University colleagues, I have also been awarded a HLF project about the 'Science behind WW1 grant which will run until Christmas 2017, please see here for details.

Finally I run a science club at a local primary school (funded by the Royal Society, Keele outreach and the school PTFA) , activity/information KS1/KS2 aligned sample sheets can be downloaded below (please email me if you want the KS2 quiz answers or resources help!)
