About Gillian
Dr Glegg is an Associate Professor in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences working with the group of staff responsible for delivering the undergraduate programmes in Ocean Science and Marine Conservation, Oceanography and Coastal Processes and Ocean Exploration and Surveying alongside MSc programmes in Applied Marine Science, Hydrography and Marine Conservation.
She is a lecturer in marine environmental management teaching on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Her interests focus on the links between science and policy in the management of people's activities and impacts on marine and coastal waters including, for example, regulation and control of marine pollution from point sources such as industrial pipelines and sewage and diffuse pollution from agriculture and urban land; integrated coastal zone management and marine spatial planning. She teaches courses in basic chemistry, marine pollution, marine monitoring and management of the marine and coastal environment including coastal zone management and marine planning at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
She is a member of MarCoPol - the Centre for Marine and Coastal Policy Reseach within the Marine Institute at the University. She has been involved in a number of research projects including CAMIS, VALMER PEGASEAS and ResponSEAble. More information about these projects can be found through the MarCoPol website.
Dr Glegg is on the Faculty Research Ethics Committee. She is also the Secretary for the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA).
