Astronomy
& Field Research

From the night sky to stories written in stone.

Observation log

Asteroid searches

Searching the sky for possible asteroids was a team effort. I took part in searches and led an IASC team.

IASC
My role included coordinating the team’s asteroid-search work.
What does “candidate” mean?

A candidate is a possible identification from a search. It needs follow-up before it can count as a confirmed discovery.

Carved-stone fieldwork

Research question

What might carvings on stone tell us about observations of the sky?

In the field

I took part in an interdisciplinary field study of ancient stones bearing astronomical carvings.

Documentary work

The field investigation also formed part of my documentary research.
