Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Owen Naughton is Lecturer in Environmental Engineering, SETU Carlow. Having graduated with a PhD in hydrology from the University of Dublin Trinity College, Owen held research fellowships in groundwater flooding and environmental modelling and a lectureship in the University of Galway before taking up his post in SETU. His research interests are transdisciplinary with a focus on hydrology and ecosystem research, and much of his work ties in with implementation of the EU Habitats, Floods and Water Framework Directives. His research focuses on understanding ecosystem processes through environmental observation (field, remote sensing), analysis, and modelling techniques.
