Liam graduated with a Dual Honours BSc in Geology and Geography from Keele University (UK) in 2009, followed by a PhD in Earth Sciences (Volcanology) in 2014. After volunteering at the Colima volcano observatory in Mexico (2010) and working in gold exploration in Ethiopia (2015), he held research positions at the University of Aberdeen (2015–2018) on strategic trace metals and at the Universities of Southampton and Oxford (2018–2021) on carbon removal by enhanced weathering. He was a, EU Marie Curie Research Fellow at Geosciences Barcelona-CSIC (2021–2022), then Head of Science at the Carbon Neutral Initiative in the Netherlands (2023–2024). Since 2025, Liam has been a Tenured Scientist at the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain, specialising in geological processes, mineral resources and sustainable climate solutions, with a focus on natural weathering, industrial by-products and nature-based approaches for carbon dioxide removal within national and European projects.
