Hi I’m Adam Dennett, I’m a post-doctoral research associate in the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), University College London. I am currently working on the migration stream of the Explaining, Modelling & Forecasting Global Dynamics (ENFOLD-ing) project.

My research interests, until now, have principally been in the quantitative analysis of internal migration in the UK, however I am interested in all areas of population geography and demography – particularly the application of statistical, mathematical and GIS techniques in the understanding human spatial patterns and processes.

For four years I was involved in facilitating access for academic users to large (primarily census but increasingly non-census), interaction data sets as part of the Centre for Interaction Data Estimation and Research (CIDER) project funded by the ESRC and based in the School of Geography, University of Leeds.

My PhD thesis was on understanding internal migration in Britain at the start of the 21st Century. Part of this work involved developing a national geodemographic area classification based on the characteristics of migrants and migration flows; a classification which has used as a framework for monitoring changes in the patterns of internal migration in Britain between censuses.
