Biography

Graduated with BSc Environmental Biology (1st Class) and then completed a PhD on freshwater algae and nutrient limitation concerning management of a reservoir (Alton Water) in Suffolk. Then carried out a post doc on estuarine benthic diatom photophysiology at essex University and a second post doc on sediment biostabilisation by benthic algae at St Andrews University. Now a Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University where I reserach on microalage, cyanobacteria and macroalgae with regard to climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem services. I am Director of the Marine Geography degree scheme.
