| Biography | |
| My current main field of interest is in marine environmental history, which involves the interdisciplinary combination of marine science and history. Other key areas are research policy and the potential of digital technologies for the humanities. I began as a medieval historian with a specialism in the Vikings in Ireland - an interest which I have kept alive through my career. | |
