RESEARCH
Overview
James has successfully led over 30 research projects including the supervision of over 20 research students. He has authored over 50 publications and two books. He has worked on several large infrastructure projects and written numerous industrial reports. Recent and current research projects include:
• Structural Assessment through Radar Remote Sensing (StARRS)
• Engineering in the Chalk
• Deformation measurement and geological insight from InSAR for the rural UK
• Understanding geological evolution of chalk cliffs and coastal processes using InSAR
• Detection of ground movement induced by the Tideway East deep tunnel, using InSAR and ground surveying
• Long-term nuclear decommissioning InSAR monitoring
• The safety and regulatory challenges associate with the geological disposal of the UK’s higher activity radioactive waste in England and Wales
• The geology and geomorphology of West Cumbria
• The geological disposal of high level wastes in China
• Infrastructure challenges posed by The Harwich Formation
• The role of faulting in London: How tectonic-scale processes influence site-scale geotechnical behaviour
• Retardation of radionuclides and contaminants in weathered chalk
