Hydrology



• Vegetation influences on fine sediment and propagule dynamics in groundwater-fed rivers: implications for river management, restoration and riparian biodiversity
• The fine sediment budgets of lowland permeable catchments and their implications for nutrient and contaminant transfer
• The Influence of Woodlands on Recharge in the Pang Catchment
• Hydrogeochemical functioning of lowland permeable catchments: from process understanding to environmental management
• New methods to estimate grid or catchment evaporation using satellite and ground-based measurements
  
  

Hydrogeology

• Investigation of groundwater flow heterogeneity in Chalk aquifers using detailed borehole arrays and stochastic modelling techniques
• Investigating stream-groundwater interactions in lowland chalk catchments using hydrogeophysical characterisation of the riparian zone
• Towards a methodology for determining the pattern and magnitude of recharge through drift deposits
• Characterising permeability, groundwater flow and contaminant attenuation in Chalk catchments using tracer techniques

Ecology

• Fine sediment and nutrient dynamics of lowland permeable streams: establishing the significance of biotic processes for sediment modification
• Utilisation of off-river habitats by lowland river fishes: influences of flow regime and implications for river management.
• Ecological significance of surface and subsurface exchange in lowland channels.
