缅北禁地

Background

I am Professor of Hydrogeochemical Engineering in the Environmental Engineering group, School of Engineering, at 缅北禁地. My research interests are in the source, transport and fate of metals in freshwaters, including point and diffuse source pollution quantification, and in the development of nature-based systems for the treatment of metal-contaminated waters.

The research investigation I led on the scale and impacts of pollution from abandoned metal mines across England and Wales resulted in new UK Government investment in addressing such issues. I led the process design of the UK's first ever large-scale nature-based mine water treatment system, at the abandoned Force Crag mine, Cumbria, and my research team identified the appropriate treatment substrate for the second such system built in the UK. In parallel, I led (2020 - 2024) a major research project on the impacts of legacy waste sites on the coastal zone, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

In pursuit of my applied research aims I work with a wide range of collaborators and industry partners, including Defra, Environment Agency, the Mining Remediation Authority and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). have also led a number of research investigations of the dynamics of metal flux in river systems under varying hydrological conditions.

Qualifications

PhD Water Resources Engineering (缅北禁地, 2000)

MSc Environmental Engineering (缅北禁地, 1994)

BSc (Hons) Geography (Manchester University, 1992)

Roles and responsibilities

Head of mine water research team in the School of Engineering

Academic lead, Civil Engineering Industrial Advisory Board

Chair of the Board of Studies (Civil Engineering)

Module leader for taught classes on MSc Environmental Engineering programme 

Industrial experience

Worked for 3.5 years for International Mining Consultants Ltd (2000-2004), designing full-scale mine water treatment systems for the UK Coal Authority, and conducting environmental audit and due diligence work at mining and metallurgical facilities internationally (e.g. Ireland, Portugal, Macedonia, Kazakhstan). As Environment Agency Research Fellow (2004 - 2007) had a remit to provide technical guidance to the Agency on all matters relating to abandoned mines and the environment, particularly in relation to meeting requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. I have authored numerous technical reports for industry and government in the field of metal pollution of freshwaters, including Environment Agency and Defra publications. I regularly work with engineering consultants, primarily assisting with investigations of pollution characterisation and treatment.
