Research Areas
Resource Economics
Resource-based Urban Studies
World Resource Geography
Natural Resource Management
Resources management particularly involving: the linkages between developments of natural resources, ecology and environment. Explore theory, methods and policy measures of resources management.
My approach has been interdisciplinary and applied, drawing on geology, geography, law, economics, engineering, finance, and political sciences as required. This in turn has depended on collaboration with a wide range of specialists home and abroad.
