My work aims to understand how essential nutrients move between land, water, and the atmosphere, and how human activities are affecting these fluxes. A particular focus of my research is to develop new tools for figuring out how nitrogen, a critical agricultural fertiliser and now ubiquitous aquatic contaminant, moves around the planet.
This website has some information about the current projects my students, collaborators, and I are working on, info from past projects, and links to some of the professional organisations I'm involved with. Follow me on Bluesky for more up-to-date information, including postgraduate funding opportunities.
About me: I am a Senior Lecturer at Lincoln University's Department of Soil & Physical Sciences, based near Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.
As a biogeochemist and isotope scientist I work to account for how biologically-active elements move through landscapes. My work has taken me around the world, and I'm committed to helping to create global science to tackle global environmental issues. Prior to joining the Lincoln University staff in 2021, I worked (as a postdoc and then lecturer) at Southern Cross University in Australia and as a postdoc at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Germany. I received my PhD from Lincoln University, a MSc from the University of Aberdeen, and a BA from Wellesley College (USA).
