PhD Supervision
I am interested in supervising PhD students in the area of Agri-Environmental externalities, particularly diffuse water pollution from agriculture. Biofuels and the role of agriculture in managing climate change are also of interest as are agri-environmental issues in developing countries. I would be happy to supervise students in the broad area of growth and the environment and measures of sustainable growth. Prospective students with an interdisciplinary approach to researching ecological and environmental issues are encouraged to contact me.
