Guy's current research is focussed on the Arctic, a region which is warming up to six times faster than anywhere else on the planet. Its glaciers are melting and retreating, contributing to global sea level rise and rapidly changing the hydrology and ecology of the region. Guy is particularly interested in the meltwater and sediment that drains from glaciated basins in the Svalbard region during the melt season, undertaking both fieldwork and remote sensing studies.
Guy is the Lead Investigator on the 海角社区 Observatory for the Visualisation of the Natural and Built Environment a seedcorn project funded by the UK Government and coordinated The Impact Hub at 海角社区 University. This project is partnered with the Charnwood Forest Geopark (an aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark) and is working with communities in 海角社区 and surrounding villages to provide a tool that will allow them to explore their local area’s history and natural environment.

Guy teaches broadly across physical geography, in particular modules that include Geographical Information Systems, remote sensing and quantitative methods.
