Research interests

The human global population is predicted to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and managing landscapes to provide the food, water, fuel, housing and other resources required by this growing population, whilst protecting the ecosystems that provide them, is a major challenge. My research addresses this challenge and is concerned with understanding the impact of anthropogenic activities (including pollution and climate change) on freshwater ecosystems and their catchments. A major research aim is to gain a mechanistic understanding of key ecosystem services and the ecological processes that underpin them, and to investigate how they are affected by anthropogenic inputs and activities. The output from this research is used to inform environmental decision making and to influence policy development and implementation.

Current research projects:

  • EESE: EU Environmental scenarios for ERA of non-target organisms (EFSA, 2023-2027)
  • ECOMIX: Assessing and managing the impact of mixtures of chemicals on freshwater biodiversity in a changing world Ecosystem services and environmental stressors (NERC, 2022-2026)
  • AENEAS: Advancing the environmental risk assessment of non-target arthropods in agroecosystems (EFSA, 2022-2026)
  • ECORISC CDT (NERC, 2020-2027)
  • PRORISK ITN (EU, 2020-2024)

Teaching activities

I teach applied ecology, in particular freshwater ecology and ecotoxicology. My teaching is informed by my own research and my passion for understanding how ecosystems function and how we can best manage them to balance environmental protection with our use of ecosystems and the services they provide.

I was awarded the Environmental Education Award by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.
