Introduction: My research career concerns how humans respond physiologically to the stress of physical activity; extremes of environmental stressors such as ambient temperature and humidity; and fluctuations in body water content. My primary research platform is the regulation of body temperature and water content, often during exercise and accompanying heat stress or dehydration. Research objectives move beyond identifying and understanding how and why these factors affect the human body, for reducing risk to an individual or user group, improving enjoyment/health/wellbeing, and eventually enhancing output (work or performance) towards meaningful and positive societal impact. Recent focus has included women, and the non-reproductive influence of ovarian hormones.
