Personal profile

Research Interests

I have spent over twenty years in the Spatial Science industry, leading projects on a national scale. My speciality was high end vehicle routing, using GIS for asset management, and location intelligence. My Honours degree thesis was a Historical Archaeology project, using Spatial Science to trace mid-19th century exploration in inland Australia.

My PhD research was exploring the correlations between detecting unmarked human burials and seasonal rainfall. This research examined two geophysical methods, used at my three study sites, all located in rural South Australia. Since then, I have gone on to conduct many geophysical surveys in Cemeteries around Australia, including the World Heritage listed Norfolk Island.

I have lectured and tutored in both Spatial Science and Geophysics for Archaeology. I continue to explore the possibilities of geophysical methods to unlock the secrets of the subsurface using my expertise and experience in Spatial Science and Geophysics.
