Biography

Stuart is a Geophysicist with broad interests integrating offshore and onshore geophysical data to develop detailed 3D models that improve earthquake rupture simulations, tsunami forecasting, and hazard preparedness. He has also played a role in advancing Antarctic paleoclimate research, contributing to foundational knowledge about ice sheet dynamics and sea-level change through seismic site characterisation for major scientific drilling programmes.
