I was appointed Lecturer in Earth Systems and Ecosystem Science in November 2004. I am a member of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science Biogeochemistry group, which in turn is part of the cross departmental and cross faculty "Ecosystems Research Group (ERG)".

I hope you find these pages informative. If you would like to get in touch I can be reached using the contact information at the bottom of this page.

I am interested in the biogeochemistry of wetlands, with particularly interest in sulfur and nitrogen pollutant impacts on terrestrial/atmosphere exchange of chemically and radiatively important gases.

I am researching the effects of acid rain sulfate deposition (both anthropogenic and volcanogenic) on methane emissions from both natural and artificial wetlands (rice paddies). I am also interested in the role of woody wetland plants in mediating trace gas emissions from wetlands.

Please look over my 'projects' pages for more detail on these interests.
