Research
Currently working on the BBSRC funded greenhouse gas removal project examining biochar as a technology for carbon sequestration. This interdisciplinary, multi-institution collaboration aims to address the uncertainties concerning the extent and scope of the deployment of biochar. My particular focus is on the applicability of biochar as a carbon storage to tool in grassland soils; examining the effect of biochar application on soil and plant health.
