Biography
I teach environmental assessment practice as part of the MSc course in Environmental Assessment and Management, based within InteREAM. My doctoral thesis, based in CSERGE, examined the allocation of environmental decision making tasks in the European Union system of multi-level governance and I have conducted extensive research with policy makers in both the UK and Brussels. I was an ESRC Post Doctoral Fellow between 2007 and 2008. I am currently conducting comparative research on catchment management governance in the USA, Australia and the EU, as part of an ESRC sponsored RELU (Rural Economy and Land Use) programme.
