Research team
Alice Milne, Rothamsted - I am an agroecosystems modeller with interests in modelling and analysis of spatial processes. For LTLS-FE I will be helping to develop the process descriptions of sediment and pollutants from agricultural soil to water.
Andy Whitmore - I am an Agroecosystems modeller working at Rothamsted Research. For LTLS-FE I lead a small team responsible for estimating the loss of agricultural chemicals to the freshwater system.
Anna Doeser, UKCEH - Anna is a freshwater invertebrate ecologist at UKCEH.
Barbara Palumbo-Roe, BGS - Barbara is a process geochemist at BGS.
Benjamin Merchant, BGS - Banjamin is a statistician at BGS.
Bryan Spears, UKCEH - Bryan is a limnologist at UKCEH.
Dan Lapworth, BGS - I am a hydrogeochemist at BGS. For LTLS-FE I am helping to develop improved representation of mine discharges and groundwater inputs to rivers for the Integrated Model.
Ellie Pinches, UKCEH - I am the project manager for LTLS-FE.
Gemma Nash, UKCEH - I am a web developer within the Water Resources science area at UKCEH. For LTLS-FE I am developing the external-facing web portal to display the results of the modelling.
Hongyan Chen, UKCEH - I am a spatial data scientist at UKCEH. For LTLS-FE I am modelling UK-wide chemical pollutant emissions into freshwaters and soils, including those under future scenarios.
Ian Vaughan, Cardiff University - I am a community ecologist at Cardiff University. I'm leading the ecology component of LTLS-FE, improving our understanding of multiple stressor impacts on river ecosystems and forecasting future changes in river biodiversity under the different climate and socioeconomic scenarios.
Jacky S Chaplow, UKCEH - I am a data scientist at UKCEH managing projects that aim to connect pollution data with models and a range of heterogeneous data (MET, water quality, land cover, river flow, effluent, biodiversity, etc.) via Application Programming Interfaces (API) and platforms such as UKCEH DataLabs. For LTLS-FE, I will help manage the data.
Lei Wang, BGS - Lei is a hydrological and hydrogeological modeller at BGHS.
Marco Bianchi, BGS - Marco is a solute transport modeller at BGS.
Mark Rhodes-Smith, UKCEH - I am a hydrological modeller based at UKCEH, working on gridded models of the UK. For LTLS-FE I am contributing to developing the main integrated model code, helping to implement new pollutants, processes and scenarios.
Martyn Kelly, Bowburn Consultancy - Martyn is an environmental consultant at Bowburn Consultancy.
Matthew Ascott, BGS - Matthew is a senior hydrologist at BGS.
Ponnambalam Rameshwaran, UKCEH - I am a hydraulic and hydrological modeller at UKCEH. My work involves developing new equations, ways of representing natural and human-created artificial phenomena within hydraulic river models and incorporating human anthropogenic impacts and climate scenarios within hydrological models.
Rich Ellis, UKCEH - I am a model developer and land system scientist. I focus mainly on fluxes of heat, water and chemicals into and out of the atmosphere. In LTLS-FE I am advising on the adoption of open data and code.
Dr Ryan T Sharp, Rothamsted - I am an agricultural systems modeller at Rothamsted Research. For LTLS I am developing the agricultural component of the integrated model.
Sam Harrison, UKCEH - I am an environmental exposure modeller at UKCEH. My work revolves around assessing the transport and fate of various contaminants in terrestrial and aquatic environments. For LTLS-FE, I am helping the development of a UK-wide grid-based model of water quality.
Stephen Lofts, UKCEH - Steve is a soil and aquatic chemist at UKCEH and is one of the principle investigators for this project.
Vicky Bell, UKCEH - Vicky is a hydrological modeller at UKCEH and is one of the principle investigators for this project.
