Chris is a NUAcT Fellow at Newcastle University. His research focusses on sediment and water transport through river and delta systems, particularly in South East Asian deltas such as the Red River. He is interested in the way that humans are impacting natural fluvial processes, both directly through processes such as sand mining, and indirectly through the impacts of climate change. In this project Chris is keen to understand how climate change is affecting river flows and how these impacts ultimately affect the populations and communities which make Red River region their home.
