Summary
Alex is a lecturer in environmental science at the University of Hull, teaching across the BSc Environmental Science, Physical Geography, and MSc Environmental Change Management & Monitoring programmes.
His research interests relate to the assessment of risks posed by eroding coastal landfill sites, investigations of contaminant transport in coastal environments, and the development of remediation technologies for contaminated waters.
He was formerly a postdoctoral research associate working on the NERC funded project "Legacy Wastes in the Coastal Zone: Environmental Risks and Management Futures" (see http://gotw.nerc.ac.uk/list_full.asp?pcode=NE%2FT003022%2F1), using a combination of GIS and field studies to assess the risks posed by legacy waste landfill sites on the coastal environment, and how these risks may change under future climate scenarios.
