My thesis explores how invasive plants like Impatiens glandulifera affect riverbank erosion and sediment dynamics. Using field data and modelling reveal biogeomorphic feedbacks and stress the need for improved riparian invasives management.
Agricultural Expansion, Climate and Geomorphic Change in the Kilombero Valley Floodplain, Tanzania
To improve our understanding how role of agricultural expansion and sociological factors drive geomorphic change in a tropical agricultural catchment. Which will then be applied to identify regions for targeted community led restoration projects.
Impatiens glandulifera: Roots and plant invasions
Project aims to understand the difference in rooting strategies and traits between invaded and un-invaded riparian communities.
SpatVeg : diverse plant communities in landscape evolution modelling
To improve understand of interactions between vegetation and land surface process across variable spatial and temporal scales.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Environmental Fieldwork
Project aims to understand how institutional policy protects/or doesn't environmental fieldworkers and how this intersects with protected characteristics. To better inform policy development to make fieldwork inclusive and safe for all.
