- Reports results of PhD research (funded by Scottish Government in collaboration with The James Hutton Institute and Forest Research), into novel methods for measuring root reinforcement in-situ. The research has been presented widely (e.g. invited presentations at Grenoble, Barcelona) and was cited in the 13th Géotechnique Lecture and led to field testing of the methods (e.g. Géotechnique 68, 320-331 https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.16.P.204; Canadian Geotech. J. 55, 1372-1390 https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2017-0344; Forests 10, art. 1135 https://doi.org/10.3390/f10121135). The research also underpinned a substantial EPSRC grant (£640k) on root reinforcement (EP/M020355/1) with further pilot funding for application to critical infrastructure slopes in Scotland (Macaulay Development Trust).
