Professor Tim George

Tim is a Rhizosphere Scientist based at the James Hutton Institute, interested in understanding the physiology of and genetic controls on plant responses to P-deficiency and drought. Tim has specific expertise in understanding how the external environment mitigates plant physiological and genetic responses to a lack of phosphorus in the rhizosphere.

Dr Alison Karley

Alison is a research leader in ecological sciences at the James Hutton Institute. Alison is an agroecologist with 20 years research experience in plant production and ecology, with a focus on agroecosystem biodiversity and pest biocontrol under reduced inputs and climate change. Her research interests are driven by the wider challenges of how to enchance ecosystem service provision in agroecosystems and optimise sustainable crop production.

Dr Zulin Zhang

Zulin is a senior research scientist at the James Hutton Institute, interested in investigating environmnetal geochemical behaviour (source, transport and fate), removal effect and risk assessment of organic contaminants including endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and emerging organic contaminants. Also he is interested in developing new analytical and monitoring techniques (e.g.

Dr Mads Troldborg

Mads is an environmental engineer at the James Hutton Institute with interest and expertise in environmental risk assessment, uncertainty estimation and modelling of environmental systems. Mads has been working with many different types of modelling approaches and has applied them to various environmental problems, including modelling of contaminant fate and transport in soil and groundwater systems, risk assessment of soil and groundwater pollution, and evaluation and spatial mapping of the risk of priority soil hazards.

Dr Lisa Avery

Lisa is a senior environmental microbiologist at the James Hutton Institute, where she also leads the Centre for Human and Animal Pathogens in the Environment (HAP-E) - a cross- institute interdisciplinary hub drawing together those working in this field. Her current research primarily focuses on the prevalence and transport of faecal indicator organisms and pathogens and antimicrobial resistence.

Dr Ina Pohle

Ina is a hydrologist at the James Hutton Institute with research interest in understanding hydrological processes and their non-linear responses to stochastic external drivers both using data-driven and modelling approaches. Currently, Ina is involved in a research project which invvestigates long-term changes in river temperatures in Scotland.
