T: +44 (0)344 928 5428 (*)
Nikki is a soil scientist and group lead of the Soil Science and Mineralogy Group within Environmental and Biochemical Sciences. She leads research on soil health and monitoring in uplands, forestry and intensively cultivated land. This includes work on the spatial and temporal analysis of large soils data sets. A key component of her work is to deliver policy related outcomes. She leads Scotland's Underpinning National Capacity on soils data, including translating the data and making it available on Scotland's  Soils website.
