I fulfil a number of roles, primarily as the Farm Manager for Henfaes Research Centre and the University’s commercial farming operation (Centre for Hill and Upland Management) at Abergwyngregyn.   I am active in teaching three topic areas:  agriculture and the environment; management planning for conservation and geographical information systems. My research has included responsibility for the geospatial analysis components of a number of national and international projects funded by DEFRA, Environment Agency, European Union Objective 1 and INTERREG, Natural Resources Wales, NERC / ESRC, Welsh Government / Hybu Cig Cymru and local government.  

I am currently co-supervising 2 PhD students and provide GIS support to a number of research postgraduates.
