Baseline distributional and behavioural data is rarely abundant for most species of cetacean and yet Local Authorities and conservation organisations often talk about ‘managing’ populations. However, you can’t manage something you can’t measure. Furthermore, coastal developments, obligated to consider environmental impacts, struggle to obtain recent and reliable ecological data for many marine and coastal species. Much of the on-going work for harbour porpoise populations centres on establishing baseline constant-effort data and applying behavioural observations so that critical feeding and breeding environmental might be identified. Few have conducted ethological methods to studying porpoise behaviour but this quantifiable research has been undertaken for the past ten years. Identification of critical habitats and potential conflict areas can inform coastal management systems.
Coastal Processes
最近的沿海洪水事件强调了许多沿海城镇侵入侵入的脆弱性。许多海岸线管理计划强调了海上防御和 /或沿海撤退的潜在选择，但是在有大量经济基础设施的情况下，理事会承受着保护最有价值和人口最有价值的前店的压力。由于影响许多领域的气候影响，必须了解沿海结构的影响并预期对我们的海岸线的变化。在物理过程（沉积物运动和沿海侵蚀）和确定关键经济中心的脆弱性指数方面的研究都在进行中。
土地修复
近年来，土地开垦的重点从回收土地上发生了变化，用于使用可持续的工业或娱乐活动，转换为提供自我维持的解决方案。从当地社区的角度来看，通过自然过程恢复景观，最终它能够照顾自己，这无疑是有益的。土地退化是南威尔士煤田的司空见惯，虽然经常被正式称为“回收”，但大多数地区仍在积极降级。当前的研究正在尝试确定最具成本效益和高效的方法，即不需要任何其他干预措施，使用树木收回受污染的土地。树种和种植技术的不同组合用于确定这一结论，估计该项目将持续几年。
The School is involved in a joint research project with Oxford Brookes University examining remediation of anthropogenic processes. The focus here being land reclamation, which has changed in recent years from recycling land for uses considered sustainable. Our work involves restoring a landscape through natural processes and where ultimately, it is capable of looking after itself, beneficial from a local community perspective. As a consequence, I have recently examined a PhD based on phytoremediation at the site and there will be future collaboration on academic paper based on comparative studies.

增加沿海governan压力需求更好ce and this study adopted a dimensional analysis to produce a local management framework for harbour porpoise populations. Having established basic behavioural dynamics and identified critical habitats, a coastal zone use model was developed. This highlighted porpoise and coastal user interaction from a species perspective. An estimation of consequence probability was determined and revealed that continued coastal use, without mitigation, is likely to have significant local impacts on porpoise populations. Mitigation refers principally to industry, fisheries and recreation and suggestions include flexible zoning; speed and vessel restrictions; engineering solutions to noise intrusion and fisheries monitoring. A mixture of formal and informal regulations is recommended, together with educational projects and industry-funded research opportunities.

Profiles were analysed in conjunction with wave climate to assess offshore island influences on an embayed beach at Tenby, Wales. Time series analyses showed medium and short-term beach oscillation, with volume exchanges between zones lagging by up to six months. Dominant southerly and southwesterly waves caused sub and low tidal longshore drift from south towards north, while less frequent southeasterly waves generated counter drift. Modelled inshore breaking waves had less energy than offshore ones and the former behaved differently between the low and high tidal zones (spring tidal range of 7.5 m). Variations in wave direction from directly behind the islands resulted in reduced wave heights and statistical analyses agreed with wave model results. These were correlated to morphological change and it was concluded that offshore islands change wave dynamics and modify the morphology of embayed beaches in their lee.
Plamping，K.，Haigh，M.，Cullis，M。J.，Jenkins，R。E.，（2008年）评估对再生煤层树木活力的评估，评估坎比亚式电阻（CER），国际采矿，再生和环境杂志：
Cambium electrical resistance (CER) is explored as a rapid-assessment method of measuring of forest vitality and disease damage. A five year study in a 10-year-old mixed plantation of Alder (Alnus glutinosa, L.) and Oak (Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl.) created for the reclamation of surface-coal mined land in South Wales found a negative correlation between CER and tree maturity and no correlation between CER and fertiliser treatment levels.
