Rory Quinn, University of Ulster, Coleraine.
Biography
Rory Quinn is a Senior Lecturer in Marine Geoarchaeology at the University of Ulster with research interests in the application of geological and geophysical techniques to the identification, evolution and reconstruction of submerged archaeological sites and landscapes. He has a BSc in Geology from University College Cork, an MSc in Geophysics from Durham University and a PhD in Marine Geophysics from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. Rory sits on the Steering Group of the Submerged Landscapes Archaeology Network, is a member of the Management Committee for the FP7 COST Action ‘Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology and Landscapes of the Continental Shelf’, an Adjunct Professor and Coracle Research Fellow in Submerged Landscapes with Memorial University (Newfoundland) and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of the North Atlantic.
