observations, thoughts and useful stuff…About the author
I’m not going to give too much away – it’s most likely that if you have come here deliberately you know who I am already and if you have come by accident you won’t really care. In my professional life I work as a Lecturer (Ocean Science) at the University of Plymouth (UK) – you can read my “Personal Professional Page” for more details on my work. I was born in Gloucestershire in 1965 (you can do the maths yourself), brought up in Somerset, and went to university in Oxford and Bangor (Wales). I studied physics, then physical oceanography, my interest in the latter being triggered when a friend told me her father had studied physics at Oxford and he was an oceanographer and I thought “I could do that”. It was a way of continuing with physics but on a scale that you can observe with your own eyes and it was also appealling to be involved with a subject that is all about the natural environment. In the past I have been a professional musician (of sorts) and a sports journalist (of sorts). I am married with two daughters, live in Plymouth and am a regular at Home Park (the home of Plymouth Argyle Football Club). That’ll do -what else did you want to know anyway?
