Professional summary

Alanna is interested in land surface-atmosphere interactions with a primary focus on greenhouse gas exchange in UK peatlands. In this role she quantifies carbon dioxide, water and methane fluxes at ecosystem scale and beyond using various methodology. She is particularly interested in paludiculture — wet agriculture and forestry on peatlands — as a method for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with current agricultural practices on peat. 

Alanna is involved in several research projects, including: Improving MOdelling approaches to assess climate change-related THresholds and Ecological Range SHIfts in the Earth's Peatland ecosystems (MOTHERSHIP)Peatland ProgressPerennial Biomass Crops for Greenhouse Gas Removal (PBC4GGR); and, Greenhouse Gas Removal on Peat (GGR Peat)
