WHO WE ARE

• Cranfield University is a research-intensive postgraduate university in which teaching, research and consultancy are integrated and undertaken in an environment and culture of innovation and applicability;
• 25% of all agricultural and environmental sciences postgraduates in the UK graduate from Cranfield University;
• The Environmental Science and Technology (ES&T) Department is internationally renowned for its multidisciplinary research towards sustaining the global environment, land, soil and water resources;
• We are the UK National Reference Centre for soils, and hold the national soil archive.

WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE IS

Cranfield have long standing expertise in predicting the location-specific environmental impact of different farm systems, future regional land use and the impact of current and future climate and socio-economic conditions on farmer decision-making. Research at Cranfield University has underpinned much of the planning and policy development for agricultural water resources in England and Wales over the last 20 years.

Experience in:

• Regional integrated assessment and location-specific modelling (RegIS, RegIS2, CLIMSAVE)
• Scenario-based modelling of future land use (AgFutures, ChReam)
• Model integration
• Crop, farm systems and environmental impact modelling (MEASURES)
• Soil and land management
• Multiple objective modelling (RELU)
• Hydrological modelling

WHAT WE DO IN IMPRESSIONS

• Co-leader of WP4 on Adaptation and Mitigation Pathways
• Lead for European case study (WP3)
• Lead for T3.3 on the representation of adaptation processes in Climate Change Impact Adaptation and Vulnerability models
• Lead for agricultural modelling in the WP3 European case study

Contribute to:

• WP2: Integrated multi-scale scenarios
• WP5: Risks, opportunities, costs and benefits

WE ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN

• MACSUR
• National research council projects (NERC, EPSRC, BBSRC)
