    CHRISTOPHER G. HUBBARD School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 (0)113 343 4696 Research Interests I am an environmental geochemist by training with a broad interest in contaminant transport and retardation processes. My research has spanned from simple, well-constrained laboratory experiments (e.g. U(VI) sorption, University of Bristol), through more complex column experiments (University of Leeds) to field investigations (acid mine drainage, University of Reading). My current research focus is biogeophysics. This emerging field links geophysical responses with biogeochemical transformations in the subsurface and has great potential for remotely monitoring the progress of remediation schemes and aiding in site characterisation. Education 2002-2007 University of Reading PhD Environmental Geochemistry “Acid mine drainage generation and transport processes in the Tinto River, SW Spain.” This study involved seasonal fieldwork and sample characterisation using ICP-OES, ICP-MS, XRD, 2 18 18 34 XRF and stable isotopes ( H, Owater, OSO4, SSO4). A detailed investigation of sulphide oxidation mechanisms and temporal fluctuations in mining area aqueous point inputs was combined with the first high-resolution study of autumn dissolution/flood events in the river (in collaboration with the University of Huelva) and long-term datasets from downstream to produce a coherent explanation of acid mine drainage generation and transport. 1999-2000 University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne MSc Environmental Biogeochemistry Distinction 1996-1999 University of Durham BSc (Hons) Environmental Geoscience First Employment Record Sep 2008 - present University of Leeds Postdoctoral Research Assistant – School of Earth and Environment Laboratory based biogeophysics projects involving experimental column and electrode design, geophysical monitoring (self potential and bulk conductivity), geochemical sampling and analyses of fluid samples and solid samples using a range of techniques (e.g.

  • 1. Introduction
    THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS Code of Practice on Learning Analytics 1. Introduction Learning Analytics is defined as follows: "the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs." (International Conference on Learning Analytics, 2011). The University of Leeds has adopted this definition for the purposes of this Code of Practice and the Learning Analytics Strategy. The University of Leeds uses learning analytics to enhance taught student education and support student success for registered students. The University will use learning analytics to: (i) support individual learners – through actional intelligence for students, teachers and professional staff; (ii) help understand cohort behaviours and outcomes; (iii) help understand and enhance the learning environment. This means that we will gather and analyse data relating to students’ education and present these in appropriate formats to staff and students, to support students’ learning, progress and well-being. The University recognises that data on their own cannot provide a complete picture of a student’s progress, but provide an indicative picture of progress and likelihood of success. This document sets out the responsibilities for staff, students and the University to ensure that learning analytics is carried out responsibly, transparently, appropriately and effectively, addressing the key legal, ethical and logistical issues which are likely to arise. This not only covers the presentation of learning analytics data to students and staff but also possible use in research projects and management information. It is important to note that the University currently holds and processes the data sources identified in this document.
