Research Interests

Environmental physics, Geophysics
My principal research interests centre on the use of electrical and electromagnetic techniques to investigate environmental and geophysical problems. Examples of this include:

• using the process of electromagnetic induction in the Earth due to time variations in the geomagnetic field, as a means of determining and understanding the electrical resistivity structure of geothermal and volcanic regions
• the use of dc electric resistivity techniques in groundwater studies
• the application of electrical methods to understanding the internal microstructure of sea ice.

I am also active in using palaeomagnetic records to try and understand the process of reversals of the geomagnetic field.

Collaborations
Active collaborations continue with colleagues at GNS Science, University of Otago, and the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
