I am an interdisciplinary qualitative environmental social scientists interested in the role of different actors in shaping system change in the context of complex environmental challenges, and how social, political and cultural factors intersect within collective change processes to shape what emerges. My research increasingly draws on systems thinking, often involves a transdisciplinary research approach, and is strongly orientated towards practice - informed by 10 years working as a freshwater environmental practitioner in the UK and in Cambodia working with natural resource dependent
Sabine has extensive experience in using targeted and non-targeted LC-MS methods. Previouslly, Sabine has developed methods for targeted and semi-quantitative methods for phytochemical compounds in different plant tissue matrices using LC-MS systems. More recently, she is invovled in method development for targeted analysis of emerging contaminants in different environmental matrices using LC-QQQ/MS. Sabine is currently interested in method development for targeted analysis of a range of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, endocrine disrupters and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Joanna combines her in-depth knowledge of environmental legislation and catchment processes with the use of GIS techniques to bring scientific research into policy-making. Joanna’s experience allows her to evaluate evidence from a variety of scientific disciplines in relation to current and emerging policy perspectives in Scotland and internationally. Key to her work is liaising with colleagues, regulators and stakeholders from varying backgrounds to achieve the best possible outcome.
With a strong focus on social justice, Diana's research investigates social change and sustainable development in rural communities in order to inform theories of rurality and contribute to the development of a fairer society in the light of the pressing societal challenges.

Sandhya's current work involves both research and commercial activities. Her research interests lie primarily in the area of Microplastics, with a particular focus on understanding the sources and behaviour of microplastics within the terrestrial environment, their effects on soil-plant-microbial interactions and development of effective bioremediation strategies to tackle plastic pollution that aligns with the principles of Circular economy.
This project is integrating model-based assessment of future risks to water quality and quantity under a range of scenarios, with new empirical water quality data and socio-economic risk assessment for drinking water supplies.
