Main areas of interest: agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and their mitigation, carbon sequestration, integrated farm management and ecologically based methods of pest control, precision agriculture and farmland bio-diversity and conservation. Key projects include undertaking carbon footprinting, life-cycle analysis, and environmental impact and sustainability assessments. Recent activities include the modelling of spatially explicit greenhouse gas emissions in European agricultural systems, and their application for assessing the impact of European Rural Development Programmes on greenhouse gas mitigation and the development of carbon footprinting tools. Other experience includes the evaluation of the impact of insecticides on non-target organisms, herbicide dispersal on hard surfaces in urban environments, ecological monitoring, applied conservation habitat management and insect taxonomy.
