Research Interests

The soil is one of the most complex and compelling resources of the natural world. My work focuses on taking the scientific knowledge we have, about how the soil functions and performs the many ecosystem services we rely on, and translating it into information that can be used to inform policies.  I am so passionate about this work because it is at the core of making scientific knowledge accessible and useful not only to policy makers but all stakeholders.

Current Projects

 I am currently working with David Wall on the European Joint Programme for Soil. Teagasc is responsible for leading the Science to Policy work package of the EJP SOIL Programme.
