Rwy’n wyddonydd pridd sydd â diddordeb yn rôl priddoedd o ran lliniaru'r newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddeall y berthynas rhwng argaeledd dŵr a deinameg carbon pridd, yn enwedig pan fydd pridd yn newid i fod yn ddŵr-wrthyrrol yn sgil tân neu gyfnodau sych estynedig.

Rwy'n dod o Wlad Pwyl yn wreiddiol. Graddiais o Brifysgol Technoleg Lublin, Gwlad Pwyl (BSc, MSc, 2002), fe wnes i gwblhau fy astudiaethau doethuriaeth ym Mhrifysgol Kiel, yr Almaen (PhD, 2006) a dechreuais fel ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethurol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe (2006).

Croesawaf ohebiaeth yn Saesneg, Almaeneg a Phwyleg.

GEG132 Introduction to Earth Systems

This module forms an essential foundation for more advanced study of physical geography and environmental sciences. It introduces the four main Earth systems: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere. It provides a sound understanding of the processes within each system, and the interactions between them. The geosphere section introduces topics like the origin of Earth, plate tectonics and describes the distribution of different rock types and processes occurring in the geosphere. The biosphere section deals mainly with flows of energy and nutrients between Earth systems. The atmosphere section deals with flows of energy and moisture and their role in controlling climate over both space and time. The hydrosphere section focuses on the concepts of the hydrological cycle and the main processes associated with the water fluxes. In addition, the main properties and functions of soil, and the formation of different soil types worldwide are introduced. At the end of the module the changes in climate in the past, current and future, proxies of climate change are included.
GEG277 Geographical Methods and Data Analysis

This core 20-credit module introduces a variety of physical and human geography methods, along with data analysis. The module builds upon student knowledge and covers research design, data collection and data analysis. Students are introduced to a range of lab and field techniques in physical and / or human geography along with statistical analysis. They gain experience in describing, interpreting and presenting the results.
GEG283 Sustainable Land Management

Sustainable Land Management course focuses on understanding and maintaining of the environmental values of LAND and SOIL for food production, water quality, flood defence and climate regulation. To understand the Sustainable Land Management the basic understanding of SOIL properties, functions will be introduced followed by the main threads and challenges to soil health connected with climate change and incorrect land management. Case studies of Sustainable Land Management in agriculture, fire prevention and mitigation, peatland restoration and land remediation will be showcased and discussed. The module will contain a series of lectures, workshops and field visit.
GEGM07 Environmental Dynamics

This module aims to explain and understand past, present and potential future changes in the Earth's climate and environment. It provides a broad approach to environmental processes and dynamics operating on land, in the oceans and in the atmosphere on a global and regional scale. Emphasis is placed on the evidence available for reconstructing past environmental dynamics, the implications for present-day processes, future predictions and likely impacts.
