Professor Christian Dunn is a wetland scientist and Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor for Sustainability at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ. He has pioneered research on nature-based solutions, particularly focusing on wetlands for water management, pollution control, and carbon sequestration. His work has gained international recognition, especially in areas such as microplastic pollution, water pollution, and peatland restoration.

Professor Dunn is the Associate Director of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ Wetlands Group, and Director of Marketing and Recruitment for the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, and the College of Science and Engineering.

In addition to his academic accomplishments, Professor Dunn is a passionate communicator and advocate for environmental sustainability. He regularly engages with the public and media through TV, radio, and print, contributing to outlets such as the BBC and national newspapers. In 2024 Prof. Dunn made his first full-length documentary for the BBC, reenacting a WWII commando operation to take soil samples from the D-Day landing beaches.

A sought-after public speaker, he has delivered three TEDx talks and is an award-winning environmental campaigner.

In 2024 Prof. Dunn was named one of the top 100 UK environmental professionals making the greatest impact in the past two years, and he serves as chair of the British Ecological Society’s Welsh Policy Group.

In 2013 I established the Wetland Science and Conservation MSc – the only one of its kind in the UK. I now lecture on a variety of undergraduate modules, covering a wide range of topics from climate change science and statistical analysis to plant identification and writing for the press. I am the course director for Zoology with Climate Change Studies and module organiser of Life in Wetlands, and Science Communication Skills.

Every year I supervise around 15 undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD student projects.

I conduct research across a wide range of wetland science topics with a particular interest in wetland biogeochemical cycles, especially in-terms of how these can affect ecosystems, the wider environment and climate; wetland management and conservation practises, wetlands and climate change, and Constructed Treatment Wetlands (CTWs).

Another area of my research is plastic and microplastic pollution, with a particular emphasis on microplastics in inland water systems and the use of wetlands to remove them.

A former journalist and editor I write for a number of national publications, including the BBC Wildlife Magazine. I regularly appear on local and national radio and television programmes to discuss environmental issues.

During COP26 I was the daily environmetnal commentator for GB News.

I am an award-winning environmental campaigner and public speaker and have given three TEDx talks:
