Dr Chris Laing

About me:

My work focuses on biogeochemical cycling set in the context of environmental change. In particular I am interested in nutrient cycling in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. A consistent theme of my research has been the cycling of carbon in organic material and its subsequent release, storage and transport. This work has a strong analytical component supported by field and laboratory studies with modeling components.

Since joining the CEC in Cornwall I have developed local research programmes that focus on monitoring the health and diversity of Cornwall's marine environment. Specifically I am working with students, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Cornwall Council to monitor the health and carbon cycling in our local seagrass habitats.

Qualifications:

MSc in Ecology, PhD in carbon cycling, Senior Fellow of the HEA.
