Biography
I graduated with a BSc(Hons) cum laude in Hydrology from the University of Natal, South Africa. My PhD in environmental hydrology, also from the University of Natal, involved developing ecological models for the management of freshwater inflow to estuaries. Subsequently I completed a Master of Laws (Environmental Law) cum laude, with a dissertation focussed on transboundary water law. I spent several years working as a consultant and contract researcher, before becoming programme director for a Master's programme at the Centre for Environment and Development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I joined UWE in 2004, appointed to set up new programmes in river and coastal engineering for the Environment Agency.
