Dr Jonathan Bridge FRGS, FHEA

Environmental geoscientist // Geographer // Soil and porous media // Water, flood and landscape

I currently hold an academic position as Associate Professor in Environmental Geoscience in the Department of the Natural and Built Environment at Sheffield Hallam University. I lead our MSc Environmental Management postgraduate degree course, and coordinate the Landscape Laboratory Research Group.

From 2012-2017 I taught in the Centre for Engineering Sustainability at the University of Liverpool. I spent 9 years as a PhD and postdoctoral researcher in the Groundwater Protection and Restoration Group at The University of Sheffield. I completed undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at University College London (MSci Planetary Science, 2001) and Birkbeck, University of London (MSc Environmental Sciences, 2003).

My primary research expertise, originating in my PhD work, is in the transport and fate of contaminants and colloids in soils and porous media. Through my time at Liverpool (2012-17) this work focused on applications in the nuclear industry and in environmental radioactivity, in collaboration with National Nuclear Laboratories in the UK and with partners in the UK, Japan and Taiwan. Past collaborators in Liverpool include Dr Andrew Boston (Physics), Dr James Cooper and Prof Neil Macdonald (both Environmental Sciences).

At Sheffield Hallam, my interests have broadened to encompass field-based hydrology and increasingly hydro-sociology, working with Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust to monitor Natural Flood Management interventions in small catchments on the Eastern Pennines around Sheffield. This has led to a range of exciting new applied and interdisciplinary research avenues, including an AHRC-funded collaboration on art and co-design in landscape decision-making, with Dr Niamh Downing, Prof Harriet Tarlo (SHU) and a network of academics, community and professional partners.

I have a track-record of research activity across the environmental geosciences. My early postdoctoral work was in soil- and waterborne pathogens and human health (invited paper in Bulletin of the World Health Organization), numerical and agent-based simulation of soil biogeochemical processes, and colloid transport and fate in porous media. I also have strong interests in catchment-scale water and contaminant dynamics, in particular in semi-arid catchments in the Middle East (Jordan) and in application to supraglacial and pro-glacial environments. I have a longstanding interest in glacier surface processes (collaboration with Dr Tris Irvine-Fynn, Aberystwyth), particularly in the dynamics of sediments, biocolloids and chemical fate and transport in the weathering crust of glaciers.

My most recent work has involved collaboration with a team of Syrian academics supported by the Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara), who have collected the first regional baseline soil survey in North-West Syria since before the start of the Civil War in 2011.

• From October 2011-August 2012 I was an post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Sheffield working on an EPSRC/University of Sheffield Early Career Researcher grant to design and prototype a robust fluorescence label for metallic (including silver) nanoparticles (NP). The aim was to enable sensitive detection in intact soil sections and laboratory porous media using fluorimetry, microscopy and fluorescence imaging. A second work package was to assess the feasibility of X-ray CT for imaging silver and/or gold NP in intact soil cores at environmentally-relevant concentrations. Work on this is ongoing via postgraduate student projects.
• From June 2008 to October 2011 I was PDRA on a multi-institution NERC-funded consortium on biologically-mediated weathering of minerals (PI Prof. Steven Banwart, Sheffield). My role was to use numerical modelling and computer simulation to interpret experiment measurements of nutrient uptake from soil minerals by ectomycorrhizal fungi, and couple these with process models of mycelium growth to establish quantitative relationships between carbon energy supply to the rhizosphere from plants, and rates of mineral dissolution.
• My first RA appointment (April 2007 – June 2008) was as project co-ordinator (Researcher Co-Investigator) for a working group under the NERC/Joint Research Councils Environment and Human Health Programme. I directed a multidisciplinary team of experts in an assessment of critical knowledge gaps and research needs in the area of mitigating risks to human health from soil- and waterborne pathogens. The group’s findings directly influenced the subsequent NERC 2009 Theme Action Plan and were invited for publication as a perspective article in the Bulletin of the WHO.
• My PhD (Sept 2003 – Nov 2007) was supervised by Prof. Steven Banwart at the University of Sheffield and Prof. Louise Heathwaite at Lancaster University. The research area was in the use of time-lapse fluorescence imaging to make high-resolution studies of colloid particle transport through unsaturated and non-uniform flow in porous media and I was honoured to be examined by the late Prof. Charles O’Melia (Johns Hopkins University). The research resulted in 3 peer-reviewed articles in Environmental Science & Technology and several conference papers.
