Chris has been a lecturer in Geography and Environmental Science at the University Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ from 1994 and became Senior Lecturer from 2007.

Qualifications

  • 1994 - PhD ‘Hydrology of a floodplain wetland’ NERC Studentship - University of Leicester
  • 1990 - MA Water quality dynamics in meltwaters draining Peyto Glacier, Alberta - Wilfrid Laurier University
  • 1988 - BA, MA - University of Cambridge

Postgraduate supervision

Chris Bradley’s current and research includes:

Hydrodynamics of floodplain wetlands: Ongoing work seeks to advance ways to investigate the hydrology of lowland floodplain wetlands and includes the modelling of shallow groundwater flows and river-aquifer interaction. Specific research projects have included the modelling of transient water table variations on floodplain wetlands using the USGS groundwater modelling programme, MODFLOW
Soil-water fluxes in macro-porous soils: Projects have examined water flow through peat deposits and in a cracking clay soil to investigate the factors contributing to macro-pore flow
Hydrology of permeable catchments: A recently completed project investigated surfacewater-groundwater interactions in a permeable chalk catchment in the UK (the River Lambourn)

Dr Bradley welcomes enquiries from prospective doctoral researchers in his areas of interest.
