Personal profile
Biography
My academic background is in human geography and since I moved to UEA in 1990 I have been involved in a range of projects concerned with applications of geographical information systems (GIS), landscape visualisation software and statistical techniques.
At present I have particular interests in issues of rural land-use change, natural capital and ecosystem services, future energy pathways and catchment management. Previous projects have included the Wensum Demonstration Test Catchment project (2010-19) funded by Defra and the ADVENT consortium grant (ADdressing Valuation of Energy and Nature Together, 2015-20) which examined the integration of natural capital into analysis of prospective UK energy pathways.
