Role
Dr Clutterbuck is involved with teaching and research activities.
Teaching commitments include:
- Teaching GIS and remote sensing as core subjects
- Contributions to other areas including geology and fluvial geomorphology
Research activities focus on:
- The application of geomatics in areas including changes in upland land management and erosion, and assessing alternative techniques for deriving information from remotely sensed data
- Hydrological monitoring and assessment of erosion in blanket peat following blocking of erosion gullies
Career overview
At Cranfield University Dr Clutterbuck was involved in:
- Teaching fundamental GIS module to MSc students and providing input to other modules
- Research assessing the viability of mapping BAP priority habitats from SAR data and developing a semi-automated protocol for mapping land management from aerial photography and satellite imagery
Dr Clutterbuck undertook a PhD examining factors that affect dissolved organic carbon release from upland peat soils.
At Nottingham Trent University Dr Clutterbuck has been involved in:
- A project looking at longer-term changes in water quality and hydrology following gully-blocking in blanket peat.
Research areas
Research interests include:
- The application of geomatics in areas including changes in upland land management and erosion, and assessing alternative techniques for deriving information from remotely sensed data
- Hydrological monitoring and assessment of erosion in blanket peat following blocking of erosion gullies
Opportunities to carry out postgraduate research towards an MPhil / PhD exist in the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences and further information may be obtained from the NTU Doctoral School.
