Reader in Environmental Hydraulics, Cardiff University
My research area is environmental hydraulics in river systems with an emphasis on nature-based solutions for flooding, the hydro-environmental impact of in-stream installations (e.g. turbines, weirs, culverts, gates) and microplastic pollution. I have worked in the field of environment hydraulics and flooding for over 25 years and my research bridges the disciplines of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science. I was awarded Chartered Engineering status (CEng) in 2008.
Why beaver-like dams can protect communities from flooding – new research
