      Variety – I don’t look at one hazard, so floods, landslides, glaciers……and so it leads me to new places and people.

      I love that I can do lots of differing things each day, and get to help a wide variety of people. I also get to keep learning, everyday. There is always a new piece of information, way of thinking, way of doing something. That is super cool.

      The fact my job is based on answering question about the world around me that I find the most interesting! I get to design and undertake research that is all really interesting to me, which makes working really fun! My days are also different, some days I’ll be in a river taking samples, others I will be working in a lab and other days I’ll be at my desk analysing my data! I absolutely love it 🙂

      My job is mostly solving problems. That might be working out the best way to do a tricky survey, it might be how to explain a complex new task so that it can be understood and completed by ~150 surveyors across GB or how to improve a process to improve quality and reduce the time and effort required. So the best part is when I work with my colleagues to find a solution and see the positive results of that.
