I am a Marine and Petroleum Geologist and Lifetime Member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), having gathered extensive field and offshore experience throughout my career. I first completed a 5-year undergraduate degree in Engineering Geology in 1997 before my PhD in Basin Analysis at the University of Manchester (2002). I am an active committe member of the Energy Group @ the Geological Society of London.
By combining both theoretical and applied aspects in my research, via robust collaborative projects, I am ranked as the most prolific author in the world, from 2001 to 2020, on the subject of submarine landslides and related geohazards: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feart.2023.982482/full
Sustainable ways of producing Geoenergy that include carbon sequestration, hydrogen and geothermal solutions, environmental aspects of coastal and marine areas, and the de-risking of petroleum E&P prospects, are key themes of my research. I am an active member of the Energy Systems University Research Institute (ESURI) at Cardiff: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/energy-systems-research-institute.
I lead the 3D Seismic Laboratory, in which a range of datasets is used to understand how sedimentary basins evolve from early rifting to their 'passive' and 'subduction' phases. I undertake project and consultancy work, including environmental studies concerning hydrocarbon-bearing regions and areas posed for GeoEnergy solutions, some of which leading to the supervision of PhD projects sponsored by research councils and industry worldwide. Key study areas include (but are not restricted to): Canada, New Jersey, SE Brazil, Equatorial Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Africa, Gulf of Mexico, South China Sea, West Iberia, France, E Mediterranean, North Sea, West Shetland and Ireland, Norway, Barents Sea, Pakistan, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. I completed and delivered a REF2021 case study on the environmental impact of hydrocarbon exploration on continental margins: 'Addressing the environmental impact of hydrocarbon extraction on continental margins'.
I am part of Stanford University's list of the top 2% scientists worldwide based on Ioannidis et al. (2023) Updated Standardised Citation Metrics Author Database Annotated for Scientific Field - https://doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw.6

Research
I lead the 3D Seismic Laboratory at Cardiff University, supervising postgraduate students and managing research projects with industry, academia and governmental institutions. At Cardiff, I am closely involved in the supervision of PhD and MESci students, collaborating actively with Industry. Past and present collaborators include Total, Statoil, Petrobras (Brazil), Husky Energy, Repsol and Partex Oil and Gas, which have supported several projects under the general theme of continental margins and basin analysis. I also collaborate with the IODP – Integrated Ocean Drilling Program in a number of projects, namely in Japan, Brazil and in USA's northeast margin. Key geographic areas being studied in the lab at the present include East Canada (Newfoundland, Labrador and W Greenland), the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Crete and Levantine Basin), West Iberia (Portugal, Spain), NW Africa (Morocco, South Sahara and Canary Islands), UK and Norway, South China Sea (China), Ceará, Pernambuco, Santos and Espírito Santo Basins (SE Brazil), the Amazon Fan and Equatorial Brazil (South America), the Nankai Trough (SE Japan), Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, West Africa (Angola, Nigeria, Namibia), Gulf of Mexico and Alaska (USA).

Impact
Impact to Industry
My research impact is based on the analysis of a wide range of data on continental margins around the world to highlight the economic benefits of drilling specific stratigraphic sequences and structures. My work has led to improved planning models developed by the industry, helping their decision-making process, staff training, and allowing a sustainable management of proven and potential resources.
Work at Cardiff's 3D Seismic Laboratory develops key studies of multiple areas in the world, allowing the delivery of technical reports, presentations, and field training courses to Industry. The insights provided by Cardiff have led to widespread changes in exploration strategies for the companies sponsoring the 3D Seismic Laboratory, building upon the successful REF2014 CAPROCKS case study.
To date, my research undertaken has resulted in economic benefits of several millions of pounds for companies operating in multiple parts of the world.
Environmental and societal impacts
Environmental studies concerning hydrocarbon-bearing regions, and areas posed for GeoEnergy solutions, are another facet of my work. In the past eight years I have been involved in projects investigating the impact of oil spills in the Eastern Mediterranean (NEREIDs) and a broader analyses of marine polution, including plastic and floating debris, in coastal and marine areas of Europe (Sea4All). The deliverables resulting from Sea4All are now being implemented in classrooms across Europe.
In terms of my contribution to research and the society as a whole, I am a Section Editor in Structural Geology/Tectonics for Marine and Petroleum Geology and have been given the accolade of Oustanding Reviewer and Sustained Reviewer for Marine Geology in four consecutive years (2014/15 to 2018/19). I am also an assiduous reviewer for more than 20 international scientific journals, including Geology, Earth Science-Reviews and Nature Publication Group journals.
