He worked with Bill Robinson on the development and installation of earthquake base isolation foundations for Te Papa. However, he is best known for his development of "Camp Haskell" - a containerised facility for working on the Sea ice of McMurdo Sound.[2] He had equipment mounted on the Erebus Glacier Tongue when it calved in 1990.[3] He had just finished a field trip to the glacier in 2010 when it next calved.[4]
He worked with Paul Callaghan for a time, developing portable Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. Initial application to the determination of sea ice heterogeneity[5] evolved to become a range of bench-top NMR devices developed by the spin-off company Magritek.
