Skills:
Management skills: I have considerable experience of managing and leading large teams of geologists and field workers, planning and organizing research and explorations. This also involves the ability to deal promptly and calmly with problems or emergencies that arise in the field.
Intercultural and communication skills: I liaise with petroleum companies and government ministries at the highest level, which requires tact, diplomacy and the ability to present a case with clarity and accuracy.
I work with postgraduate students of all nationalities at the University of Southampton, giving an annual series of seminars.
I am frequently invited to give papers at conferences.
