As a Marie Curie Alumni EU Horizon2020 INSPIRATION ITN, my main research interest is to study climate-change-induced risks to water-quality and soil health
The Agricultural Catchments Programme (ACP) commenced in 2008 and is currently in Phase % (running from 2024-2027). The programme is funded by DAFM (Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine) and is coordinated and managed from the Teagasc Environmental Research Centre in Johnstown Castle. Since 2008, the programme has amassed a unique environmental, agronomic and socio-economic data set unrivalled around the world. The same experiment has been run over the course of the programme in six hydrologically diversed agricultural catchments around Ireland.
I am a catchment scientist/modeller currently working as Hydrochemist Research Officer in the Agricultural Catchments Programme, in Ireland.
As a Marie-Curie Alumni (EU Horizon2020:INSPIRATION ITN), and with interdisciplinary research background, I have collaborated with many international research teams. My research interests lie primarily in investigating the influence of anthropogenic activities and agricultural measures on the losses of nutrients, and development of sustainable mitigation measures.
I am now focusing my research on investigating the impact of the changing weather patterns on the fate of nutrients and the processes involved in their transfer to waterbodies in river catchments. In view of having more frequent extreme hydrological events, efficient and resilient climate-smart mitigation measures are needed to meet national and international (UN SDGs) targets.
I have worked in different international multidisciplinary research teams, hence, I do appreciate multinational inclusive research projects that produce globally transferrable outputs.
