Dr Max Coleman

My current role involves facilitating public engagement with RBGE science in an informal educational context through a variety methods including: events, exhibitions, digital and community outreach.

A focus on food and crop plants has proved to be an effective public engagement hook that leads into topical issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change and making agriculture more sustainable.

A visit to the island of Lismore on a midsummer weekend sounded idyllic to a group of researchers from the James Hutton Institute and SRUC.

Hemp’s role in diet biodiversification and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Hemp could play a role in the development and expansion of a low carbon, environmentally responsible industry, bringing a new ‘cash-crop’ to Scottish agriculture and offering new job opportunities across the supply chain. This type of low carbon innovation is currently supported by the Scottish Government in the public sector (i.e.

Infrared Spectroscopy – Helping to Protect Scotland’s Soils

Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy is a versatile analytical technique that can characterise a wide variety of different sample types e.g. from drugs and plastics to soil and minerals. The IR spectrum produced is a chemical “fingerprint” or profile of a sample and allows us to “see” what it is made up of.

Dr Katherine Irvine

I am a senior researcher in conservation behaviour / environmental psychology focusing on the nature-health-sustainable behaviours nexus. I draw on an interdisciplinary background in molecular biology, natural resource management, conservation behaviour and environmental psychology to investigate the interface between people and their environmental settings (for example, natural, built, home, office) with an aim to develop bridges between issues of ecological quality, health/wellbeing and sustainability.
