Soil and fluvial geomorphologist with expertise in soil erosion and sediment and contaminant transfers in river catchments.
Research interests focus on understanding and modelling soil erosion on agricultural land, and how fine-grained sediment (and associated contaminants such as phosphorus, metals, radionuclides) are delivered to and transported through river systems.
Also interested in the storage of sediment and contaminants on floodplains and in channels and lakes. This work is being used to develop management guidance and also inform policy and decision-making.
Was a member of the EU Soil Thematic Strategy Technical Working Group on Soil Erosion (2004), and leader of Work Package 2 (sediment management at the river basin scale) of the EU European Sediment Research Network (2002-2004) and founding member of the European Sediment Network (2005-).
Member of Council of the British Society of Soil Science (2003-2005). Author or joint-author of over 50 scientific papers and co-editor of two books.
