David Lumsdon is a Honorary Associate in the Catchment Management research area, with more than 25 years research experience. He initially trained as a soil scientist, and later undertook Post Doctoral studies in the Department of Land Resource Science at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He is an expert in soil and aqueous geochemistry, especially coordination chemistry, the surface chemistry of soil mineral and humic colloids, mathematical models of geochemical and transport processes in porous media; molecular simulations of geochemical systems. This knowledge has allowed him study a wide range of topics and to develop improved understanding into the behaviour of chemical elements in terrestrial environments. In particular he is interested to translate the information obtained using advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to provide improved models for chemical interactions in soils. He is an associate editor with the Journal of Geochemical Exploration and acts as a reviewer for several peer reviewed scientific journals.

Current research interests

Geochemistry and bioavailabilty of metals in sewage sludge amended soils
Soil phosphorus resources and solubility in Scottish soils
Phosphorus recovery from waste streams by active filtration through Fe ochre-based filters
Geochemistry of micro nutrients (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mo, B) in soils
Predicting essential soil functions through the combination of soil databases with advanced soil chemical models
Use of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction techniques to advance the application of mechanistic soil chemical modelling
Challenges related to developing sustainable agriculture, in relation to future fossil fuel and natural resource constraints in a world with increasing population.

Some topics of research conducted earlier in his research career include:

Mineral phases controlling aluminium speciation and solubility in acid waters and soils
Role of chemical speciation modelling in biological systems (Phosphate-root interactions, metals and micro organisms)
Mechanisms and modelling of soil organic carbon interaction on Fe (oxy)hydroxide minerals
Geochemical behaviour of As(V), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in contaminated land
Acidification modelling and the transport of dissolved organic carbon to water bodies
