Doug joined Forest Research in 2024 as a spatial analyst in the Mensuration, Growth and Yield science group. His research focusses on improving how UK forests are accounted for in national and international greenhouse gas inventories. He is currently working to accurately report recent UK tree planting, project future planting rates, and model the greenhouse gas impact of these actions.
Doug has wide range of ecological experience. He completed his PhD at Stirling University investigating the chemical and behavioural ecology of plant-pollination interactions. Before this he worked as a researcher at Nottingham University, applying concepts of livestock nutrition and husbandry to insect farming for, animal feed and human food. Doug studied at Leeds University for his undergraduate and master’s degrees (respectively biology, and biodiversity and conservation); his master’s thesis investigated the evolution and ecology of acoustic mimicry in bee-mimicking hoverflies. Doug also has worked in Ecological consultancies for a number of years; researched water quality and pollution in the Forth Catchment and the Black Sea; and worked in the conservation, hospitality and healthcare sectors.
