I am interested in how humans have changed the landscape through every day actions and how these actions have changed the health of the environment. As a rough list I am interested in soil and landscape history, contaminated land and remediation, geoarchaeology, geology, soil science, metamorphic rock processes, erosion, environmental chemistry, developing new analytical methods for environmental analysis, palaeoclimatology, stratigraphy, past societies and the effects that climate change had on their lives and land use.

Environmental geochemistry of lead in lead-mining impacted Scottish catchments. I am researching the legacy mining in the Wanlockhead and Leadhills regions to determine the lasting effects on the environment that centuries of mining has left., the pathways that this pollution is taking, how this is changing in a changing climate and possible remediation solutions.
