After completing a Masters in Geological and Environmental Hazards at the University of Portsmouth, he joined the Marine Geoscience Research Team as a Research Assistant/GIS Analyst. His master’s Thesis focused on the use of different RS techniques such as Optical satellite imagery/InSAR in combination with GIS to monitor the increasing hazards presented by glacial lake expansion in high mountain areas as a result of climate change. Jason currently works on the Donegal FLOWEnergy MCDS project funded by SFI through iCRAG with support from Hexicon AB
The Donegal FLOWEnergy MDCS Project focuses on the development of a Geographical Information Systems tool which analyses criteria pertinent to the development of floating offshore windfarms. This tool will determine the optimal sights for floating offshore windfarm development in the Northwest broad area of interest off the coast of Donegal based on a range of criteria pertinent to FOWE and on stakeholders opinions and concerns.
