Research Projects

Funded by UK's Natural Environment Research Council we are developing ecohydrological models that quantify the carbon dioxide removal of enhanced rock weathering, a CO₂ removal approach that accelerates natural chemical weathering of rocks by spreading finely ground silicate rocks on land so they react with CO₂ and lock it away in stable carbonate or bicarbonate forms. In the project we are looking into both the inorganic and organic pathways of enhanced rock weathering.

SMARTWATER is an ongoing NERC-funded Large Grant project that integrates cutting-edge environmental sensing, data science, and ecohydrological and water quality modelling to identify, understand, and manage hotspots and hot moments of multi-contaminant river pollution, supporting evidence-based interventions to keep water quality within safe operating boundaries under global environmental change.

A BBSRC–Nestlé funded research project will advance regenerative agriculture by developing ecohydrological models that quantify how soil–water–plant processes respond to regenerative practices, with the goal of delivering practical, evidence-based pathways to improve the long-term sustainability of cash and staple crop production.  

Collaborators: Sara Bonetti (EPFL), Nestle
