Jamie is a geographer and has worked across a range of different, but connected, tropical coastal environments including coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses. His research interests concern tropical coastal ecology and geomorphology; coral reef development in marginal environmental settings; the use of palaeo-proxy data for the interpretation and contextualisation of recent (Holocene) ecological and environmental change; and coastal and marine management (including marine spatial planning and regulation).

Jamie completed his PhD and a subsequent role as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Exeter, both funded by the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council.

Jamie currently works as a marine spatial planner and is a Visiting Fellow at Northumbria University.
