Jonathan’s research is broadly concerned with the hydrology of wetland systems. He is especially concerned with peatland and fenland systems from a management perspective but also from a restoration perspective, especially as a result of resource extraction processes. He is also interested in the impact of climate change on peatland systems.

My
research
examines
pore-scale
to
watershed
scale
hydrological
processes
in
wetlands,
including
water
and
solute
flux
dynamics.
The
research
is
applied
and
focuses
on
impacted
systems
caused
by
mining
(e.g.
De
Beers
Victor
Diamond
Mine
impact
on
peatlands
of
the
James
Bay
Lowland);
oil
sands
extraction
(e.g.
constructing
a
fen
peatland
and
watershed
on
the
post-mined
landscape);
and
peat
harvesting
(e.g.
restoration
of
fens
and
bogs
in
eastern
Canada).
We
use
a
combination
of
hydrometric,
geochemical
and
remote
sensing
techniques.
