Research Interests
My primary research focus involves understanding the interplay between Earth surface processes and weather conditions, particularly extreme rainfall events. I am interested in how landslide and rockfall inventories are temporally constrained, and how this temporal precision is used to constrain the role of weather conditions in driving rockfall. I am also interested in ‘extreme event legacy’ and how major storm events may serve to change critical landslide/rockfall initiation thresholds required to instigate future mass movements.
My PhD aims to examine the role of precipitation and temperature as drivers of rockfall activity along a section of the North Yorkshire coastline, with an emphasis on how extreme weather may serve to modify rock slope behaviour. This entails the development of a novel workflow as part of an ongoing terrestrial LiDAR rock-surface monitoring campaign.
