About James
Part-time sponsored Postgraduate research student with the School of Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Plymouth (2019 - ) . My research focus is the lower limits of spectra identification of anthropogenic marine and terrestrial plastic litter via remote sensing methods. This degree is supervised by Dr Matt Telfer and Dr Richard Thompson.
I also work full time with ARGANS Ltd as an Earth Observation Scientist, performing analysis on satellite images and assisting in the development of algorithms to obtain project-relevant data from them. I have completed projects investigating the use of optical data and spatial recognition for identifying marine plastic in open water, the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar data to map coastlines in Northern Canada, and surface classification using random forest algorithms.
