My main research interests lie in the field of large scale landscape planning & design; landscape ecology; sustainable landscapes; coastal landscape planning, human perception of, experience and relationship with the landscape, participatory landscape planning, cultural landscapes, landscape change & policy development, assessment and planning.
These interests are reflected in my publications and in work and my experience on a wide range of multi-disciplinary research and landscape projects which involve building consensus between the public, voluntary and statutory organisations.
I am increasingly interested in bringing together fields of study in new and creative ways and in fostering the breaking down of traditional disciplinary barriers. I explore new approaches to research in landscape as well as to challenge conventional academic attitudes.
