Staff Profile
Background
Jessica is a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on the Climate Adaptation Control Technologies for Urban Spaces (CACTUS) project and the Assessment, Costing and Enhancement of Long - Life, Long-Linear Assets (ACHILLES) project. She is based in the National Green Infrastructure Facility at Newcastle University, UK. She conducts research into climate change mitigation through the use of green infrastructure, and into slope stability.
Jessica’s PhD at Queen’s University Belfast was based at the British Geological Survey, Nottingham (2017-2021). Her research focussed on the use of near surface geophysics, particularly electrical resistivity tomography, for assessing the stability of slopes that affect transport infrastructure.
