Background

My early research was in the role of sediment–water exchange in estuarine chemistry and the estuarine reactivity of the rare earth elements (REEs) but I subsequently developed an interest in climatically active trace-gas cycling and air–sea exchange. I was part of a small team at The Marine Biological Association of the UK (later Plymouth Marine Laboratory) and the University of East Anglia that developed the so-called ‘dual-tracer technique’ for estimating gas transfer velocities at sea using sulphur hexafluoride and helium-3, a method now regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for measuring air–sea gas exchange rates on short timescales. My current work includes evaluating the environmental controls of air–sea gas transfer, especially the role of surfactants and the microbiology of the sea-surface microlayer, and the biogeochemical cycling and air–sea exchange of methane and nitrous oxide in estuaries and mangroves, on coastal shelves, and in the open ocean. I also maintain an interest in the role of terrestrial dissolved organic matter in marine trace gas and ‘available nitrogen’ photo-production. I have served on a number of UK and EU Committees, contributed to the European Nitrogen Assessment and the CARBOEUROPE report on greenhouse gas emissions from the European Coastal Zone, and I co-edited proceedings of the International Symposium on Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Balances in Mangrove Coastal Ecosystems, 2005.
