Research interests
My research focusses on the intersection of anthropogenic requirements and environmental wellbeing. I am particularly interested in river ecology relating to survivability of Salmonid species primarily in breeding and juvenile phases.
Other research interests include, Carbon accumulation in rewetted flood plains and the impact of tree cover, vegetation change due to rewetting and soil movement due to Natural flood management interventions/ farm management changes.
My research is conducted by combining field collection and lab analysis.
