Dr Nikki Baggaley

Nikki is an environmental scientist at the James Hutton Institute. Nikki's current research is focused on soil hydrology and its linkage to water quality, quantity and Green House Gas emissions. She is involved in modelling soil erosion at national and catchment scales using Pan European Soil Risk Assessment model, PESERA. She is interested in developing links between soil hydrology and the transport of chemicals and particulate matter both in fragile upland environments and lowland agricultural systems.

Dr Maddy Giles

Maddy is a soil ecologist working within the Ecological Sciences group at the James Hutton Institute. Her research interests include C and N cycling in soils and how these soil functions can be influenced by microbial communities. Maddy currently works on the NERC funded CZO project Using critical zone science to enhance soil fertility and improve ecosystem services for peri-urban agriculture in China.

Dr Rupert Hough

Rupert is an environmental / soil scientist with expertise in risk modelling and exposure assessment. He is Scinece Group Leader of Information and Computational Sciences at the James Hutton Institute.  In his current position, Rupert uses risk-based methods to aid decision making and management of specific problems. Such methods have wide applicability and Rupert has used them for evaluation of both human and ecological problems; from finding appropriate ways to reduce dietary exposures to heavy metals, through to managing peat erosion under given climate change scenarios

Dr Tracy Valentine

Tracy has over 20 years experience in applied and basic research at the plant root:soils interface. Utilising both image analysis and molecular based methods she has investigated processes and impacts of soil management on plant root growth and development, and root soil biological and physical interactions with the aim of understanding how to improve crop genotypes and management systems, via increasing knowledge of root:soil biological and physical processes at a range of scales.
