Biography
I graduated in with a BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology in 1980 and began work as an agronomist with United Biscuits (Agriculture) the same year. While with United Biscuits (Agriculture) I completed a PhD, graduating in 1986.
Redundancy prompted a change in career pathway first into further education before entering higher education in 1994.
I retired in 2021 and was made an Emeritus Professor. Since retiring my academic work has been focused on writing text books.
Areas of Research
Before retiring my research focus on the relationship between people on their environment. This lead to areas on interest including urban ecology, conservation management, and health and the environment.
Having retired I no longer teach students.
While at the University of Salford I taught modules relating to conservation biology, biogeography, habitat management and restoration, field skills, wildlife film making, and sustainability.
