Currently my interests relate to soil chemistry in particular carbon cycling during woodland succession. However, I would like the opportunity to study soil degradation in the context of climate change in the future.
I’m a third year PhD student investigating the effects of woodland creation on soils, a programme I started right after finishing my undergraduate studies in environmental sciences also at the University of Stirling. Since my undergrad years I have developed a keen interest in all things relating to soil health and it is my ambition to contribute to this field in the years to come. I have two publications so far (one as a result of my undergrad dissertation about soil respiration in the arctic tundra and another article about mycorrhizal soil fungi) and I am in the process of submitting a third publication as part of my PhD concerning soil aggregation and chemistry during woodland development. I am a member of the EU Soil Observatory working group.
