Carol Hayward

I joined the Edinburgh office of Wessex Archaeology as a Marine Geophysicist in 2021, shortly after graduating with a Master’s in Geophysics and Geology from the University of Edinburgh. In my day-to-day role, I use software including Coda SurveyEngine, Geometrics MagPick and QPS Fledermaus to process and interpret various types of geophysical data, with a view to characterising the archaeological importance of any anomalies observed within those datasets.

I thoroughly enjoy applying the skills I gained in my degree to a discipline that focusses on safeguarding our cultural heritage, and I look forward to developing new skills such as Python programming and sub-bottom profiler data processing and interpretation.
