Scientific Expertise

Inorganic chemical processes in the environment, particularly those relating to chemical speciation and uptake by biota. The development and application of in situ dynamic analytical techniques. Major expertise lies with trace metals, but studies extend to organics, nutrients and radionuclides.

 

Recent Achievements and Impact

• The thrust of my 32 years of research is to advance understanding of inorganic chemical processes in the environment, where possible, by exploiting new analytical developments. I have advanced the application of electrochemical techniques (ASV and CSV) and ICP-MS in investigating metal speciation and bioavailability, pioneered the techniques of DGT and DET and have led the applications of these techniques in waters, soils and sediments. The research has advanced scientific understanding in several areas of environmental chemistry: (1) biogeochemistry of Co and Ni in marine systems, (2) chemical speciation in aqueous environments, (3) dynamics of interactions between solution and solid phase in sediments and soils, (4) the role of microniches in determining chemical processes in sediments and (5) how the dynamics of soil processes affect uptake of solutes by plants.
• The work on DGT I initiated as a PDRA, developed during my 5 years Advanced NERC Fellowship, and since as an academic member of staff, has become an international research area in its own right. My recent and current work has maintained the research lead, and DGT – based work continues to set the agenda in the research fields mentioned in highlights 2-5 above, with papers that, for example: define information available on labile solution species (Mongin et al, 2011); demonstrate possible micronutrient limitation in the oceans (Bayens et al, 2011); demonstrate directly P dynamics in the rhizosphere (Santner et al, 2011), allow accurate prediction of P fertilizer requirements (Mason et al, 2010); provide an integrated theory for dynamic and quasi-equilibrium plant uptake (Degryse et al, 2009). My recent grants and collaborations are expanding the research into new areas, including environmental nanoparticles, biological sensors and hydrology. An exciting recent development has been the acquisition of unprecedented high resolution images of solute distribution in the rhizosphere and in sediments with 4 papers in active preparation.
• Invited speaker at more than 30 international conferences and workshops in the last 10 years.
