Nick is Associate Professor in Environmental Science at the University of Nottingham. He is a plant and soil ecologist and biogeochemist, leading research address sustainability issues across a range of ecosystems (peatlands, forests, grasslands, and agriculture), management intensities, and climates.
After studying biology at the University of Durham, he completed his Master’s in Ecology and Environmental Management at the University of York, and his PhD at the University of Nottingham. Nick conducted post-doctoral research at Teagasc, working on the mitigation of agricultural nitrous oxide emissions.
Following this, he was a Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham, where he led the first ever on-the-ground measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes from the Central African peatland complex.
He was Lecturer (2020-2023) and Senior Lecturer in Plant Soil Systems at Cranfield University prior to joining the University of Nottingham in November 2023.
