Research
My research focuses on two major themes: understanding hydrological processes at the hillslope scale; and at the larger scale, integrated catchment management (see http://icm.landcareresearch.co.nz). This work has involved detailed hillslope plots studies of runoff generation mechanisms; numerical modelling of the hydrological response to land use change; numerical modelling of the Motueka catchment for surface hydrology and nutrient movement; and using satellite remote sensing to interpret soil moisture patterns.
Teaching
I have no regular teaching in the department but contribute to different courses at different times.
