David Milan Positions Contact David Milan is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography and Environmental Science in the Department of Natural and Social Science. David joined the University of Gloucestershire after completing a Ph.D. at the University of Newcastle in 2001, where he undertook research into sediment transport and pool-riffle maintenance. David’s research interests integrate fluvial geomorphology with ecohydraulics. His principle research interests are in i) sediment quality and siltation assessment of fish spawning grounds, ii) sediment transport dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, iii) sediment budgeting, iv) sediment fingerprinting, and v) technical developments in fluvial geomorphology and ecohydraulics; Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), LiDAR, and RFID tagging of gravel clasts. David is currently working on a project jointly funded by the SITA trust, ARUP and the EA focusing upon fine sediment delivery to salmonid spawning grounds in the agricultural River Lugg catchment, Herefordshire. In addition to monitoring the loading and character of fine sediments delivered to ecologically sensitive zones, composite fingerprinting is being used to indentify sediment sources at the catchment scale. In collaboration with University of Salford, ARUP and JBA consulting, David is also currently using terrestrial laser scanning to map hydraulic biotopes, grain roughness and quantify erosion and deposition volumes in rivers. David is a reviewer for Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, River Research and Applications, Sedimentary Geology, Journal of the American Water Resources Association and the Journal of Geography in Higher Education. He has also reviewed proposals for NERC and the US Science Foundation, and has been author of 31 peer reviewed articles.
