Determination of the impacts of lowering the water levels of Henley Park Lake to adjacent water dependent ecological features designated under the Habitats Directive. The study involved site investigations, modelling, risk assessment and preparation of a technical report. Project undertaken while employed at Enviros.

Design and implementation of routine monitoring and targeted investigations of lakes Samsonvale, Somerset and Wivenhoe (and catchment streams) and the Logan and Albert Rivers. Projects undertaken while employed at SEQ Water.

Limnological research to assess the effectiveness of artificial destratification at controlling potentially toxic cyanobacteria within Lake Samsonvale and development of recommendations for the long term management of water quality in the reservoir. Project undertaken while employed at SEQ Water.

Provision of technical support to the European Commission over a period of 3 years, including representation at working group and committee meetings and drafting and editing of EU guidance documents. Key outcomes included technical drafting of CIS Guidance on Monitoring under the WFD and Guidance on 2008 Reporting (monitoring programs). Project undertaken while employed at WRc.

Provided an overview of current monitoring of priority hazardous substances under existing international obligations and identified substances to be targeted under future obligations. A detailed UK wide strategy for monitoring reductions in the use and discharge of substances was proposed. Project undertaken while employed at WRc.
