Research overview
I am a professor in Biogeochemistry. Through my research I aim to improve our understanding of how nutrients are transported from soils to surface waters and the atmosphere. In particular, I am interested in the impact of land management, atmospheric deposition and climate change on carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in peatlands, organo-mineral soils and agricultural soils.
Major research foci include:
- Factors controlling the long term increase in surface water dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations
- Impact of peatland restoration on gaseous and aquatic carbon fluxes
- Carbon cycling in peatland pools
- Impact of land management on nutrient cycling in arable soils
