Biography

Rowan lectures on both theoretical and applied aspects of the climate system. His particular area of expertise is in regional climate analysis and modelling and land-atmosphere interactions at regional and local scales. He has published widely on all aspects of climate and climate change, with particular emphasis on Ireland. He contributes to the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) initiative which is seeking to develop regional climate projections for use in informing policy at all levels, as part of EURO-CORDEX. He has participated in a number of successful funded research projects as researcher, lead/co-applicant and PI working with state, semi-state, industry and international partners. In recognition of his contribution to scientific research, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholar award in Science and Technology 2012-2013 which facilitated his research, as a visiting scientist, at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. He has previously participated in reporting to the United Nations, under the Framework Convention on Climate Change, and acted as an expert reviewer to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007.

Spatial Optimisation for Indicative Land Uses; a soil-climate based assessment PI 05/10/2020 04/10/2024 96000
Soil carbon sequestration in grassland production systems: A process-based approach PI Soils are the world's largest carbon reservoir containing approximately 1500 billion tons in the form of organic material. Increasing the amount of carbon in the earth's soils by 0.4% per year can halt the 4.3 billion ton annual increase in carbon emissions and help prevent climate change. Grassland soils are the dominant store of carbon in Ireland and need to be enhanced if Irish agriculture is to meet its national climate change obligations and Food Wise 2025 ambitions. Walsh Fellowships page 1 of 8 Numerous factors and processes drive the rate of carbon sequestration by soil. Measuring the effect of multiple factors on soil carbon processes at the field or higher scales is difficult and expensive. Currently, the only practical option at these scales is to model changes in carbon. Many models are available to simulate soil carbon. They vary in complexity from simple static tool to dynamic process based models. These tools however have not been developed for Irish grassland production systems. Thus, there findings regarding the effect farm management practices and/or new grassland technologies (e.g., conversions of leys to permanent grassland, introducing earthworms to soil, draining mineral soils and planting hedges) have on soil carbon levels may not be appropriate for Irish conditions. The main goal of this research will be to develop a valid process-based soil carbon sequestration model for Irish pastoral systems.This will be realized by adapting an existing published American or European tool e.g., Pasture Simulation (Riedo et al., 1998). The adapted model will be applied using field data collated from blueprint Teagasc farm systems and carbon outputs will be verified against actual field results. Once validated, the model will be used to evaluate promising carbon sequestration technologies for grassland systems and assess there nitrogen and economic implications. 01/10/2020 30/09/2024 101750
Next Gen Nutrient Efficiency for Sustainability – soil fertility underpinning nutrient use efficiency for sustainability PI There is an urgent need to achieve balanced nutrient management to increase the profitability and sustainability of Irish agriculture. Different soil types respond differently to additional nutrient applications, even with similar soil test starting points. In Ireland, high soil variability makes developing nutrient management strategies a key sustainability bottleneck for Irish farming and advisory services. Soil type is the main driver of nutrient cycling and production capacity. Accordingly, soils represent different nutrient loss risks due to run-off, leaching and denitrification. Poor soil fertility not only results in yield losses but also losses to the environment which makes meeting environmental obligations challenging. Significant opportunities for increased nutrient use efficiency exist through extensive soil fertility research now available, that could be coupled with a platform (NMP online) to enhance the sustainability of Irish agriculture. Taking the field as the management unit, this work will integrate soil fertility research with field by field NMP online platform data to categorise soils based on biophysical (soil, weather) and management data to generate standard algorithms to enhance production potential while minimising environmental losses. This new information can be leveraged by advisors,farmers and policymakers to improve nutrient use efficiency, profitability and overall sustainability of Irish agriculture. 01/10/2020 30/09/2024 101750
