Research Overview
Complementing the perspectives of other members of the Biodiversity and Ecological Processes Group, work in my group of 3-4 post-doctoral researchers and 5-7 PhD students is explicitly ecological. Unified by the theme of ecosystem-scale dynamics in rivers and wetlands, activities focus on:
1. Ecosystem quality and the distribution of aquatic organisms in lakes, rivers and wetlands
2. The ecology of surface water acidification and recovery
3. The ecology of river and wetland birds
4. Climatic effects on upland rivers
Each of these themes is expanded under 'Research' (above), while my involvement with a range of charities, professional bodies and government organisations is outlined under 'Biography'.
