Research Interests

The application of natural (uranium series) and anthropogenic (¹⁴C and ¹³⁷Cs) radionuclides as tracers of geochemical processes:

• The distribution, geochemistry and fate of ¹⁴C in coastal UK water and biota.
•  Radiocarbon dating of archaeological and environmental samples.
• Dynamics of marine particle resuspension, scavenging and removal processes using ²³⁴Th/²³⁸U disequilibrium. 
• Uranium geochemistry in coastal environments.
• The application of ²¹⁰Pb and ¹³⁷Cs in determining sediment chronologies, accumulation rates and mixing processes.
  Environmental radioactivity and oceanography.
