Water Resources

Marc is senior scientist in Environmental and Biochemical Sciences at the James Hutton Institute.  He Work Package Co-ordinator for water resources and flood risk management. Hi background as a catchment biogeochemist gives him a vast understadning across different disciplines, including hydrology, chemistry and ecosystems.

Mark is a flood risk management scientist at the James Hutton Institute. As a research scientist in catchment hydrology, Mark specialises in flood risk management at source. His other interests include the design, implementation and data analyses/modelling of hydrological catchment monitoring experiments.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frank Katzer is a molecular parasitologist at the Moredun Institute working on protozoan parasites of veterinary and public health importance.

Roy is a Rhizosphere Ecologist  who is one of the key staff members leading Integrated Pest and Disease Management (IPM) research at the James Hutton Institute. His recent projects have focused on biodiversity loss due to transport by soil erosion, nematode ecology, endochrine compounds and risk of invasive species.
