This project explores the macro land-use changes needed to achieve the challenging Scottish Government objectives of delivering NetZero and other environmental objectives. We assess how widely technical or behavioural changes can be applied and barriers to their success. This means reflecting with policy teams on the robustness of policy narratives and looking for opportunities to increase policy coherence.
I am a multidisciplinary qualitative researcher and have expertise in rural and regional development, rural sociology, governance, innovation and economic geography.
My previous research interests focused on applied ecology and rangeland and woodland management, interests that continue today. However I am increasingly involved in modelling and spatial data approaches, as well as interdisciplinary studies that address environmental issues from different key perspectives. Along with Simon Gibson-Poole I oversee the development and use of UAV (drones) across various research and education initiatives, ranging from pest and disease detection in crops to flood modelling in river systems. This often requires working with external bodies - for example I am
My main research interest is in the application of remote sensing from unmanned aircraft systems (aka drones) using structure from motion and pixel/object-based classification techniques. The subject matter is typically agricultural (trials of various crops) however I am always looking for ways to apply this to more purely environmental concerns. The spatial data created from this research links onto other research interests including the management and modelling of spatial data using geographic information systems (GIS). The below list covers the areas that I am currently involved in
This project applies different modelling approaches to assess opportunities and impacts of land use in Scotland. Synergies and conflicts in land use policy are explored to identify how multiple objectives can be achieved. The greenhouse gas inventory is being disaggregated to holding level to identify hotspots for emissions and mitigation potential. Farm business models are scaled up to regional levels to identify patterns of responses to policy and management change. And, natural capital is modelled spatially to explore ecosystem service supply and opportunities.
