Current projects

In this project, we are investigating how South American tropical peatland ecosystems are driving increases in atmospheric methane, integrating on-the-ground measurements working with regional partners with process-based models, working in partnership with Cranfield and Aberdeen Universities, and IIAP (Peru).

In this project, we are investigating the extent and vulnerability of carbon storage in the Pantanal, the World's largest tropical wetland ecosystem. 

This research project assesses opportunities for further enhancing the sustainability of tea production systems in Kenya.

This research project will support farmers in reducing agricultural emissions by increasing the adoption of pulse cropping in arable rotations, and understanding their impacts on soil processes across temporal scales.

This PhD studentship is assessing how changes in wheat genotype and management can impact soil greenhouse gas emissions.

This PhD studentship is investigating the integrated impacts of regenerative management on soil carbon and soil biodiversity at regional to UK scales

This project is assessing the impacts of contrasting management practices on soil health and carbon in cocoa farms, with the aim of devleoping low cost, scaleable indicators for assessing the sustainability of different interventions. 

This PhD studentship is assessing how changes in spring and winter linseed genotypes impact soil greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon sequestration in rotations.

This research project is investigating how the adoption of more sustainable farming practices (including intercropping, agroforestry, and organic nitrogen management) can provide environmental, economic and societal benefits, particularly for smallholder farmers and farming communities. 

In this project we undertook new measurements of above and belowground carbon storage in Panama, to support the development of new peatland maps, to support long-term conservation and restoration the region. 

In this PhD studentship, we are investigating opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from constructed treatment wetland systems.

In this project, we assessed the environmental impacts and economic benefits and trade-offs from the adoption of paludiculture in the Cambridgeshire Fens, and identified areas as future carbon hotspots.

In this project, we assessed how climate change impacts were affecting smallholder coffee farmers in co-operatives in Kenya.

In this project we assessed sediment and biomass carbon storage in Panamanian mangroves, and quantified current and future dynamics to assess the potential of these ecosystems as a nature-based solution to climate change.
