Teaching interests
I teach mapping skills and cartographic design using Digimap and Adobe Illustrator software to first year Geographers (GGH1202/GGP1208). I support Shaun Lewin's QGIS teaching to Environmental Science undergraduates and MSc Planning postgraduates.
In addition to my cartographic input, I have helped out on various Geography and Environmental Science fieldtrips. In recent years, residential trips have been to Western Australia, Brittany, Belize, the Pacific North West of the USA. My role on these trips is mostly as a driver, photographer, IT technician and a general helper, looking after the equipment and making sure the trip runs smoothly.
