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.
