I contribute to the seismic characterisation of sites for astronomical observatories. This has included wind-generated seismic noise at a potential site for the Einstein Telescope in Sardinia, peak seismic acceleration at a potential site for the Cherenkov Telescope Array in Chile, and will soon include analysis of unusual transients at the Virgo gravitational wave observatory in Italy.

Nov 2013 - Feb 2014
I examined groundmass from basaltic volcanic deposits of different types of volcanoes in the monogenetic Auckland Volcanic Field by XRD analysis to clarify the connection between eruptive style and groundmass crystallinity. This project involved planning and executing field work such as sample collection, and sample preparation for XRD analysis, running XRD analysis, and interpreting results.
