Jack is a doctoral researcher at the University of East Anglia (ARIES 2024 cohort) studying the implications of sea level rise globally to 2300, with 1.5 years’ prior experience as an academic researcher at the Tyndall Center in the same field. Prior to academia, Jack spent 7 years as an engineering consultant in the fields of inland and coastal flooding, coastal erosion and GIS development.
Professional areas of focus include sea level rise impacts, probabilistic numerical modelling, economic assessments of flooding and erosion damages, strategic scale investment planning and spatial data analysis and visualisation.
Currently undertaking a PhD on the long-term implications of sea level rise on global coastal zones, building on earlier work as a Senior Research Associate within the PROTECT project (July 2023 to Feb 2025). Developed a probabilistic assessment framework to model future coastal exposure under multiple sea level rise trajectories, emissions scenarios, and population futures. This research provides insights into the long-term implications of different emissions and population pathways.
Skilled communicator with a strong interest in public speaking and science outreach. Experience includes delivering talks at the University of East Anglia, international conferences and project meetings, as well as participating in public engagement events such as those hosted by Groundwork Gallery in King’s Lynn. Committed to the principle that science is not complete until it is communicated, and believes that sharing research with diverse audiences fosters new insight, dialogue, and broader societal impact.
