His river research has been at the hydrology, geomorphology and ecology interface within a geographically-led space-time framework - inspired by his PhD supervisor, Professor Petts. The majority of research has been in response to catchment specific, national or global issues in river management and as such he has worked with industry, environmental bodies and regulatory authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Greenwood\u003c\/b\u003e is an ecologist, with a special interest in entomology, and is now retired from Loughborough University.
