Bio
I am a marine environmental historian who studies the state of past oceans and our relationship with them. My teaching centers on the application of digital methods and GIS to the study of history and world environmental history more broadly. My current research is focused on applying digital methods to the study of historical fisheries in British Columbia with the aim of helping to restore sustainable and equitable fisheries in the province. I completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin in 2020 and have since worked on two major European Research Council projects focused on marine environmental history; the NorFish project and the 4-Oceans project. My first book examined the history of Ireland's marine fisheries from 1400 to 1600 and showed how a combination of conflict, colonisation and climate change damaged the industry's long-term sustainability.
