Research Interests
My research interests are linked by the theme of transitional waters and associated environmental quality;
- Sediment fingerprinting (provenance) studies using organic tracers. Particularly carbon sinks and stores in coastal and estuarine environments,
- Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging to study oil binding in sediments,
- Changes to EU legislation regarding the aquatic environment,
- Interactions of natural scientists and lawyers in the formulation of environmental regulations (specifically diffuse pollution),
- Natural resource management, environmental protection and environmental crime.
