Prof Dave Chadwick

• Effect of climate change on decomposition in forest ecosystems. Lancaster Univ. PhD
• BSc Agriculture and Environmental Science. University of Newcastle upon Tyne. 2:i. BSc

My interests are in the management of nutrients in livestock manures, other organic resources and fertilisers to optimise nutrient utilisation whilst minimising impacts on water and air quality. This includes; quantifying and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the risk of transfers of pollutants to watercourses, and understanding the secondary impacts of mitigating diffuse agricultural pollution. As well as publishing refereed scientific papers, I also contribute to policy and practice.

Dave Chadwick is Professor of Sustainable Land Use Systems in the School of Natural Sciences. His interests are in optimising nutrient management and reducing diffuse pollution in different agricultural systems, both in the UK and overseas. He joined Bangor University in 2012, after working at the North Wyke Research Institute in Devon for 18 years.
