Ymchwil

I have interests in particulate airborne pollution and human respiratory health. Specific particles of interest are geologically-sourced such as, volcanic ash, desert storm dust, and quarry dust. Research is now concentrating on 'toxic' cocktails of mineral dusts and anthropogenic emissions from fossil fuel burning.

I am co-leader of the 'Airborne Particles and Lungs' Research Group, a long-running interdisciplinary collaboration, which monitors, collects, characterises, and determines the bioreactivity of particles. I retain an interest in fossil charcoal; the subject of my Ph.D.

Addysgu

Undergraduate teaching: I contribute towards modules and fieldtrips in the environmental geosciences.

Postgraduate teaching: I am module leader in contaminated land, transferable skills, environmental impact assessment in the Masters in Applied Environmental Geology. The teaching involves, lecturing, practicals and fieldtrips.

Meysydd goruchwyliaeth

Each year I supervise between 10 to 15 Applied Environmental Geology Masters students. The placement projects are worth 60 credits, out of a total of 120 credits for the degree, and typically are in contaminated land or environmental assessments at specific sites that are under contract to the industrial placement companies.

Ardrawiad

Particulate air pollution: collection, characterisation and human health effects. I am on the Welsh Government Advisory Group on Clean Air.

Bioreactive minerals: adverse and positive health effects. Providing research outputs that advise on the human health impacts of minerals.
