Dr Emily Cooledge

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Officer in Environmental Science, working alongside Prof Davey Jones and Prof Dave Chadwick. My current areas of research include:聽

  1. Exploring soil nutrient cycling (e.g., C and P) and its impact on microbial ecology (e.g., carbon use efficiency) in dryland (e.g., Atacama desert, Australian soils) ecosystems.
  2. Understanding long-term microplastic pollution and the degradation of plastic additives (e.g., DEHP and DBP) in soil.
  3. Identifying critical 'tipping points' in soils subjected to extreme heat-stress events.
  4. Wildfire soil ecology and strategies (e.g., fire retardants) to enhance resilience.聽
  5. The environmental impact of biosolid derived biochar (e.g., heavy metals, microplastics, antimicrobial resistance genes (AMRs), PFAS).
  6. Lowland grassland management and sustainable livestock production.聽

Alongside my postdoctoral research, I regularly lead and oversee research projects and supervise students conducting radiolabelled (e.g., 14C, 33P, and 35S) and non-radiolabelled experiments. I am available for external collaborations to establish new projects.聽

My PhD research was based on the exploring the agronomic and environmental benefits of grazing multispecies 'herbal' leys on lowland sheep production. The results of this research have been published open-access in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment.聽
