Enhanced rock weathering and other techniques for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Novel isotopic signatures of biogeochemical cycling, including iron, chromium, lithium and magnesium, and the response of biogeochemcal cycles to global environmental change
Exploration for new sources of metals and elements critical for emerging green technologies, including lithium and the rare earth elements
My primary interest is nuclear characterisation in support of decommissioning of both civil reactor operations and also industrial / research sites for waste sentencing and disposal.
My previous work has included development of novel and rapid approaches for analysis of tritium, in particular the development of a new high-capacity sample oxidiser for problematic waste streams.
I am also experienced in radiation safety and open radioactive source work in relation to IRR and EPR regulations and in particular the requirements associated with the handling of LLW and ILW for preparation and analysis.
