Although long retired, I am still working as a research ecologist. My work is mostly writing and finishing scientific papers on stream ecology. I was a 1969 Fellow studying effects of power station effluents on freshwaters and marine ecology in the USA and Canada. I spent four years in a River Board and 30 years in the power industry. Since 1991 I have been a visiting fellow and visiting professor at the University of Southampton.

My Fellowship encouraged me to write two books on pollution and I have published over 50 papers. Since retiring I have studied the ecology of streams in the New Forest in southern England and published a number of original papers on these. The Fellowship has been a spur for much of my work and I have yet to complete two, much overdue, books on rivers and two papers on the New Forest.

My spare time was spent as an amateur actor in plays and large musicals in all the places I have lived. I have now retired from that, but I have not retired and will not retire from my real passion, which always has been freshwater ecology. The Fellowship was a primary encouragement to that and still is.
