Biography
Peter is involved in the standardisation, publication and management of the organisation’s marine evidence base, and the application of GIS to marine spatial data. Prior to this, working as a marine mapping scientist at the Countryside Council for Wales (now Natural Resources Wales) gave Peter opportunities to participate in fieldwork and learn about marine data gathering techniques, both on survey vessels and ashore, and it was here that his specialism in marine GIS began. Peter holds a BSc Geography from the University of Southampton, and a MSc Geographical Information Science from the University of Edinburgh. He also has experience in a small consultancy, a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) research facility and as a volunteer field assistant in the arctic.
