Research Interests
My research interests span across the zone of soil, vegetation and atmosphere and concern interactions involving exchanges of energy, water and CO2. Much of my research has been focused on NZ indigenous ecosystems, particularly the peat wetlands of northern NZ. I have also worked on NZ tussock grasslands and Antarctic soil systems. My current research focus is on the environmental drivers of CO2 and water vapour exchange in peat wetlands (collaborating with Landcare Research), and the effects of farm management practices on farm-scale CO2 exchanges (associated with the NZ Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre). Since the late 1990’s my research with students has focused on data obtained with eddy covariance measurement systems, but also using ecohydrological techniques.
Expertise
Surface water hydrology and ecohydrology, especially applied to wetland environments; surface-atmosphere processes in hydrology and climatology, including evaporation, energy and water balance studies; ecosystem carbon exchange; micrometeorological methods.
