Dr Shand is a currently a Honorary Associate in the Soil Group at The James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen.

Current research interests

He is involved in assessing the impact of land use change on soil functions and the assessment of the phosphorus status of Scottish soils in relation to the potential for loss of P from soils to the aquatic environment. With colleagues from the Institute and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences he is involved in developing micronutrient management strategies in organic systems and how to utilise local and site specific resources for sustainable crop and animal production.
