“I’ve been in the Environment industry most of my working life one way or another. During my time I’ve done most of the jobs, I’ve built footpaths, managed nature reserves, advised multinational corporations on their environmental liability and consulted on Environmental Management Systems. I’ve worked on fuel-cell power systems for cars and ships and the economics of photovoltaic production.

“Most of my time however, has been in research; I’ve reconstructed historical climates from Antarctic ice cores, investigated air/snow exchanges of pollutants in the Arctic and the atmospheric processing of pollutants in remote and rural regions. For the past fourteen years I’ve concentrated on understanding urban pollution and creating and managing New Zealand’s most experienced team of air quality researchers.

“When I’m not working, I’d rather be climbing mountains.”
