I am interested in working with other members on

Agricultural land has many uses and some biomass crops like miscanthus grow very well on marginal land, not viable for food crops. I can provide projections on biomass crops, yield and belowground biomass, energy, soil carbon and carbon flux which feed into life cycle analysis. This is more robust if a partner has field data for verification. The team I am part of is also looking to expand our crop range to other industrial crops. I am looking to develop a project proposal with partner(s).

About me

I have ticked all geographic areas because I build models and run projections for the whole UK and globally, although I am physically based in Aberdeen. I have years of experience in modelling agriculture and soil-plant-air interactions, and work in a small team developing biomass crop and soil carbon models.
