 Environment and Sustainability Institute 1.35

 

Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter, Penryn Campus, Penryn, Cornwall, TR10 9FE, UK

Overview

My research is concerned with determining the mechanisms and products of the biogeochemical cycling of contaminants and nutrients in mine wastes, ground and surface waters, dusts and contaminated land. I use geochemical, mineralogical and modelling techniques to improve knowledge of contaminated systems, to develop remediation schemes and to establish the impacts of contaminants on global health. My research is interdisciplinary, covering the fields of environmental geochemistry and mineralogy, physical and human geography, microbiology, chemistry, archaeology, engineering and law. 

 I am also a member of the Camborne School of Mines in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
