RESEARCH OVERVIEW
I am a soil biogeochemist with a particular interest in forest and upland soils. My work includes the effect of environmental (e.g. acid rain) and land management change (e.g. burning, afforestation) on soil and solution chemistry, and sometimes the subsequent effects on surface water quality. I am particularly interested in the cycling of carbon and the mobilisation and speciation of aluminium.
