Ymchwil

I have interests in particulate airborne pollution and human respiratory health. Specific particles of interest are geologically-sourced such as, volcanic ash, desert storm dust, and quarry dust. Research is now concentrating on 'toxic' cocktails of mineral dusts and anthropogenic emissions from fossil fuel burning.

I am co-leader of the 'Airborne Particles and Lungs' Research Group, a long-running interdisciplinary collaboration, which monitors, collects, characterises, and determines the bioreactivity of particles. I retain an interest in fossil charcoal; the subject of my Ph.D.

Addysgu

Undergraduate teaching: I contribute towards modules and fieldtrips in the environmental geosciences.

Postgraduate teaching: I am module leader in contaminated land, transferable skills, environmental impact assessment in the Masters in Applied Environmental Geology. The teaching involves, lecturing, practicals and fieldtrips.

Meysydd goruchwyliaeth

Each year I supervise between 10 to 15 Applied Environmental Geology Masters students. The placement projects are worth 60 credits, out of a total of 120 credits for the degree, and typically are in contaminated land or environmental assessments at specific sites that are under contract to the industrial placement companies.

Ardrawiad
