It is well known that soil, hillslopes, and watercourses in small catchments possess a degree of natural attenuation that affects both the shape of the outlet hydrograph and the transport of nutrients and sediments. The widespread adoption of Natural...

Effective management of diffuse microbial water pollution from agriculture requires a fundamental understanding of how spatial patterns of microbial pollutants, e.g. E. coli, vary over time at the landscape scale. The aim of this study was to apply t... Read More about A catchment-scale model to predict spatial and temporal burden of E . coli on pasture from grazing livestock.

Use of spatially distributed time-integrated sediment sampling networks and distributed fine sediment modelling to inform catchment management (2017)
Journal Article

Use of spatially distributed time-integrated sediment sampling networks and distributed fine sediment modelling to inform catchment management. Journal of Environmental Management, 202, 469-478. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.01.045

Under the EU Water Framework Directive, suspended sediment is omitted from environmental quality standards and compliance targets. This omission is partly explained by difficulties in assessing the complex dose-response of ecological communities. But...

Science of the Total Environment, 548-549, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.12.086

We hypothesise that climate change, together with intensive agricultural systems, will increase the transfer of pollutants from land to water and impact on stream health. This study builds, for the first time, an integrated assessment of nutrient tra...
