Pete has been researching and developing methods for characterizing fractured rock since the early 1990's. Much of the emphasis of his work is on the use of high sensitivity temperature probes. He is refining approaches for the use of existing technologies and developing new techniques for characterizing flow in fractured rock, as well as approaches to amalgamation and presentation of multi parameter data sets. He is also an active researcher into techniques for identifying underwater unexploded ordnance.
