The environmental modelling group specialises in computer modelling at spatial scales from plot to global, and at temporal scales of hours to millennia. We develop and use mathematical models using a range of approaches, and the group is represented by researchers with expertise in soil science, plant science, biology, environmental science, mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, social science and others.
We model all aspects of the environment, but specialise in global change impacts on ecosystems, soils, and agricultural options to mitigate climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, environmental and agricultural sustainability, global carbon cycle, ecosystem modelling, food security, ecosystem services, bioenergy (including BECCS) and other forms of energy modelling. As modelling specialists, we have numerous collaborations with experimental laboratory and field scientists within the University, elsewhere in the UK, and globally.
