Adam’s research involves the use of subsurface imaging technologies to characterise the influence of glacier meltwater on ice dynamics, but extends to monitoring groundwater resources and, as a member of Leeds Geosolutions centre, their role in the low-carbon energy future. He is also interested in engaging researchers in arts disciplines, to benefit the public communication of science themes. As Programme Leader of SEE’s Exploration Geophysics MSc, he has developed several new links between student research projects and industrial stakeholders and brought this expertise to his former water@leeds role as Associate Director for  Mission 4 - Next Generation.
