RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests were wide and deep:
* water and energy sustainability at local and global scales
* groundwater - hydraulic and geochemical interactions

* waste 2 resources, geosequestration, biochar in soils
* low permeability barriers, aquitards and/or engineered systems
* mine water management - final voids, water quality
* porous earth engineering - soil water, consolidation and subsidence

My research combines site based and in situ methods, with laboratory
experimentation and numerical modelling using various codes.
