BIO

I graduated in Topographic Science BSc (Hons.) from The University of Glasgow, Scotland in 1988. After graduating, I worked for number of survey and digital mapping organisations, including the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, training as an archaeological surveyor.

I have worked for the Discovery Programme for over 15 years, and currently have the job of Senior Geo-surveyor in the Technology Section. This role has seen the development and implementation of 3D data capture technology at a range of scales (aerial lidar, terrestrial scanning, close range scanning, SfM, UAV and Geophysical techniques), supporting the research projects of the Discovery Programme. International collaborative research is an important activity and I am currently working on CHERISH: Climate Change and Coastal Heritage (interreg), having previously participated in a number of EU projects including; 3D-ICONS (CIP), ArchaeoLandscapes Europe (Culture 2007-2013), COST Action TD1201 (COSCH), and COST A27 (Landmarks). Recognising the increasing importance of photo based mapping and surveying techniques I completed a Diploma of Photography in 2016, and recently qualified as Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
