About
I am a contemporary aquatic ecologist, specialising in the transition between marine, brackish and freshwater systems.
I am currently working on the Dynamic Humber Project (DHP) at Hull University. This project addresses society's and commerce's urgent need to anticipate and address the response of coastal and estuarine systems to climate and anthropogenic changes, timely enough to positively affect outcomes on environmental sustainability, economic development and public health.
I have recently completed my Ph.D in the Department of Geography at Loughborough University, entitled 'the impact of increasing saline penetration upon estuarine and riverine benthic macroinvertebrates'. This research determined the extent to which saline penetration into estuaries will change under future climate scenarios and predicted the impact of these changes upon benthic macroinvertebrate community structure and species distributions over the freshwater to marine transition. This project studied the River Adur and River Ouse estuaries on the south coast of England and used a combination of field sampling and laboratory experimentation.
In addition to estuarine systems, my research interests also include marine and freshwater ecology (i.e. temperate and tropical marine systems, freshwater karstic habitats, chalk streams and rivers). I am also interested in bringing together scientists from difference disciplines to promote discussion and improve understanding of complex systems. For example in 2010, I co-organised a conference entitled 'All at Sea? Synergies between past and present coastal processes & ecology', held at Loughborough University on the 9th and 10th of September. This conference aimed to improve long-term climate and environmental records by improving the usage of complex contemporary data sets in time-averaged palaeo studies. http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/gy/allatsea/home.html
In addition, I am the student representative council member for the Estuarine and Coastal Research Association (http://www.ecsa-news.org/).
