PUBLICATIONS
The publications listed below reflect the technical foundations that underpin my work on strategic risk, environmental decision-making and complex asset-related challenges.
They include peer-reviewed research, conference contributions and industry reports on subsurface risk, CCS, applied geoscience and energy transition topics. This academic and technical grounding supports the evidence-based, practically focused approach I bring to projects, programme delivery and strategic advisory work.
