My research focuses on the application of geospatial technologies and numerical approaches to understanding environmental processes, ecosystem service delivery and nature recovery. I am interested in how fluvial systems respond to changes in biota, climate and land management and how remote sensing approaches (LiDAR, photogrammetry and multispectral imaging) can support detection and measurement of environmental changes. I work with interdisciplinary academic teams and diverse non-academic partners to address environmental and societal challenges including increasing resilience to natural hazards, reversing biodiversity loss, and establishing rewilding as an investable nature-based climate solution. I currently hold a NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship on Embedding environmental and geospatial science in nature recovery and rewilding (2024-26).
