My interests include
* The linkages between geomorphology, hydrology and ecology
* The influence of coarse woody debris on river processes
* Use of remote sensing techniques to monitor landscape development
* Climate change and landscape- biotic interactions
* Assessment of ecological status within rivers using biotic, geomorphic and hydraulic indicators
* Habitat and fishery assessment techniques
