Career Highlights

Research
  • Our research focuses on regions especially sensitive to environmental change such as high-latitude, alpine and fire-prone) and those with sparse environmental archives (tropics) to reduce uncertainty in modelled future-change scenarios and advance understanding of the Earth system.

    Leader, Swansea Biochar Research Team

    Our group aims: constructing a global model of the potential for reducing atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases by producing biochar sustainably; providing assistance to a recycling company that hopes to establish a pyrolysis plant in South Wales; and conducting a pilot study into the physical and chemical changes that take place through time as biochar is weathered within the soil.
