Background

Jonathan is a coastal and estuarine geomorphologist. His research focuses on the factors influencing the evolution and development of wetland restoration schemes, and management of intertidal environments more widely. In his research, Jonathan works closely with organisations such as the Environment Agency, Natural England and Natural Resources Wales.

Jonathan completed his PhD at the University of Brighton in 2018, where he subsequently worked in various research and teaching roles. In 2019, he moved to Coventry University before joining the University of Reading in 2022. He has been a Council Member of the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association since 2017.
