I am a geophysicist focussing on mapping the distribution of basalts with carbon storage potential along the US eastern coastline. New high-resolution aeromagnetic data will be used with seismic interpretation to constrain the geometry and depths of offshore basins and identify the presence of basalt flows. 

I conducted my PhD at Imperial College London, which identified the characteristics and universality of magnetic anomolies in mature hydrocarbon reservoirs. I used rock magnetic techniques in conjunction with basin modelling and seismic interpretaion to constrain the petroleum migration history of the Wessex Basin, UK. I also designed a reaction path thermodynamic model to identify the boundary conditions for the formation of metastable iron sulphides associated with subsurface reservoirs.
