Research interests

Phil’s research follows several themes within a catchment science framework:

  • Nutrient and sediment dynamics and fate in river and lake catchments.
  • High resolution monitoring of pollution dynamics in rivers.
  • Biogeochemical interactions within freshwater ecosystems.
  • Risk assessment of critical source areas/times of pollution at multiple scales.
  • Agri-environmental policy development and review.
