Christopher is head of Cryptogamic Plants and Fungi at the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh, using his research to understand how habitat management can offset negative impacts of global change. He co-ordinates RBGE's Scottish biodiversity science, including activities contributing to the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy (2020 Route Map) and the Scottish Government’s Strategic Research Programme (Theme 1 - Natural Assets).
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.
Aline is a molecular ecologist at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, whos research focus is conservation and ecological genetics of threatened and important plant species.
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. passive sampling, online extraction, chromatography and mass spectrometry) for emerging organic contaminants of different environmental matrices with an emphasis on compounds
Samia is an Environmental Scientist at the James Hutton institute, specialising in point sources of pollution and water quality where septic tanks can act as multiple points of pollutants impacting surface water quality increasing phosphorus, nitrogen and microbial loads to water courses. Samia's current work is focused on Resource Recovery from Wastes, tackling current worldwide sustainability problems (Phosphorus amendment) through the identification of nutrient-cycling pathway to maximise soil quality and crop productivity using wastes (food and crops anaerobic digestates and biomass ash)
Rachel is the manager of the Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW). A key part of her role is to identify and prioritise CREW projects through a process of engagement with relevant policy makers, regulators and practitioners.Rachel brings many qualities to this role and has extensive experience of delivering policy relevant and strategic research. She is an established catchment scientist and prior to taking on the role as CREW manager, she worked to improve knowledge of catchment biogeochemical processes and hydrological cycles affecting the interactions between landscapes, their management
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.
Luigi is a statistician at BioSS, with several research interests including ecological and environmental statistics, analysis of sensor data.
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.
