Human-landscape interaction
We study human-landscape interactions over a range of spatial and temporal scales, using geological, geomorphological, archaeological and historical data. We focus on soil and water quality, and land use sustainability.
We develop and apply advanced tools like machine‑learning for digital soil mapping and semi‑mechanistic models for crop yield response. By examining the co-evolution of human actions and landscape systems, we aim to provide the foundational insights necessary for developing resilient landscapes and supporting sustainable land management at both practical and policy levels.
Topics
Our topics include:
- Fertiliser optimisation
- Agricultural innovation in diverse global contexts
- Sustainable sandy soil landscapes
- Management effects on soil health at European scale

Research themes
Earth surface dynamics
We analyse the past of soil and landscape systems to understand the current dynamics under global change and to project future pathways.
Human-landscape interaction
We study human-landscape interactions over a range of spatial and temporal scales, using geological, geomorphological, archaeological and historical data.
Geography and data science
We develop methods for quantifying soil properties combining expert knowledge, data science, geostatistics, remote and proximal sensing, and process-based modelling.
