- Top to bottom high resolution biostratigraphy of Cenozoic microplankton, spores and pollen from North West Europe (North Sea), with a detailed knowledge of key stratigraphic horizons such as the forties sandstone. - Integration of biostrat data with other down hole data (eg Gamma) to better constrain the subsurface, including developing fairway models and fingerprinting time equivalent sands around diapirs and faults in the Cenozoic North Sea.- Specialist knowledge of Silurian and Devonian spores from Southern Britain and the northern hemisphere. Developed spore based biostratigraphic zonation around the S/D boundary as part of PhD. - Interest in digitising Palynology, leveraging data analytics, 'big data' and ML for biostratigraphic and multidisciplinary stratigraphic analyses. - Harnessed univariate and multivariate statistical analyses to explore spore diversification in Southern Britain during the vascular plant 'explosion' of the early Devonian.-
