Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Ddaearyddwr Dynol, wedi'i leoli yn yr Ysgol Daearyddiaeth a Chynllunio. Nod fy ymchwil yw deall y berthynas newidiol rhwng yr amgylchedd a'r gymdeithas. Fy mhrif feysydd diddordeb yw:
- Ecoleg wleidyddol drefol
- Gwleidyddiaeth isadeiledd dŵr ac ynni
- Datblygu byd-eang a'r amgylchedd
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cael fy ariannu drwy Grant Cychwyn pum mlynedd a archwilir gan ERC/UKRI, o'r enw 'Datblygu byd-eang a gwrthddywediadau dŵr newydd (GloNeW)'.

Ymchwil
Rwy'n gweithio ym meysydd daearyddiaeth ddynol, ecoleg wleidyddol a datblygu byd-eang. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar wleidyddiaeth seilwaith dŵr ac ynni fel lens ar gyfer deall heriau cymdeithasol ac ecolegol yn feirniadol, fel straen dŵr a newid yn yr hinsawdd.
Mae gen i ddiddordeb ymchwil hirsefydlog mewn amlhau adnoddau dŵr 'newydd' neu 'anghonfensiynol, yn enwedig dŵr môr a dihalwyno dŵr hallt, fel ymateb i heriau dŵr mewn cyd-destunau amrywiol ledled y byd. Er nad yw'n cael ei ddeall yn dda, mae dihalwyno bellach yn cyflenwi dŵr i tua hanner biliwn o bobl yn fyd-eang ac mae wedi dod yn un o'r trawsnewidiadau metabolaidd trefol pwysicaf yn yr 21ain Ganrif, gan gynnig mewnwelediadau pwysig ar sut mae cymdeithasau'n ymateb i faterion fel diogelwch dŵr.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n PI o brosiect pum mlynedd a aseswyd gan ERC/UKRI o'r enw 'Datblygu byd-eang a gwrthddywediadau dŵr newydd'. Pwrpas y prosiect yw dadansoddi'n feirniadol ymddangosiad ffynonellau dŵr anghonfensiynol yn y De Byd-eang, a'r goblygiadau y bydd technolegau dŵr newydd yn eu cael ar fynediad at gyfiawnder dŵr a dŵr. Mae'r prosiect yn canolbwyntio ar ddefnyddio dihalwyno yn Kenya,
Mae fy ymchwil wedi cael ei gyhoeddi mewn ystod eang o gyfnodolion academaidd rhyngwladol, yn ogystal â llyfrau a chasgliadau ar-lein.
