Dan Metcalfe
Hello and welcome to my developing webpage.
I am currently a post-doctoral research associate at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) employed by Peter Högberg and Sune Linder. I am working on a large-scale forest 13C isotopic labelling experiment which should provide novel insights into the factors that control patterns and rates of forest carbon allocation.
From September 2008, I will be taking up another position at the Environmental Change Institute, within the Oxford University Centre of the Environment as a Junior Research Fellow in Tropical Forest Science. I will be working with Yadvinder Malhi within the Ecosystem Dynamics group. My principal focus will be on coordinating a large-scale investigation of above- and below-ground carbon cycling at six tropical forest sites across the Amazon.
I completed my PhD in December 2006 at the University of Edinburgh, looking at carbon dynamics and climate change in the Amazon rainforest. I was a member of the Global Change research Group within the School of Geosciences. My supervisors were Patrick Meir, Mathew Williams and Yadvinder Malhi.
