Summary
Research
Researching the effects of future Net Zero agricultural scenarios on air quality and ecosystem protection in the UK. Elizabeth's supervisors are Prof Helen ApSimon and Dr Huw Woodward.
Elizabeth's research is funded by Defra under the Support for National Air Pollution Control Strategies (SNAPCS) contract and is aligned to the Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet DTP at the Grantham Institute
Background
Elizabeth has worked to advance environmental policy and address land, air and water pollution in the public and private sectors in the UK and the USA over the past 25 years. This included 14 years at the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the latter 5 as part of a shared service at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where she managed their Environmental Quality team regulating and developing policy related to environmental pollution and health, climate change, biodiversity and fuel poverty. Immediately prior to beginning her postgraduate research, she worked for the Environmental Defense Fund where she led the collaborative Breathe London pilot project using state-of-the-art technology to map air pollution across the city.
