This page is simply a place to note the stuff I have done that is not part of my day to day lecturing, supervising and admin stuff. Why? Well because we often get asked for this sort of information for the 'assessments' that crop up with monotonous regularity. I tend to forget stuff like this so the intention is to maintain a list of things that seemed important or took a significant time.
2020
The year Covid-19 struck, just as I returned to work. Everything shifted to teaching online and many, many of repeats of small group F2F sessions. No time for anything else.
2018/19
I was on an 18 Month career break during the latter half of 2018 and 2019.

Spring 2013 - Designed and built two UAV aircraft for Alun Hubbard and his students to take to Greenland. The aim is photographic survey of glaciers. Update: the UAV's made a dozen or more missions exceeding 40Km during Summer 2013 obtaining high quality stills that have been used to build DEM glacier surface maps. We are building more for next year.
