Dan Evans holds a 75th Anniversary Research Fellowship as a Soil Scientist at Cranfield University’s Soil and Agrifood Institute. He leads both fundamental and applied research, principally focusing on soil formation, and the parent materials from which soil is formed. His research programme comprises three core components. These include: (1) investigating the interactions that take place between soils and soil parent materials; (2) exploring the threats of local perturbations to the stock, health, and functioning of soil parent materials, and the ways of protecting these to safeguard future soil formation; and (3) identifying smart, efficient, and innovative techniques to accelerate rates of soil formation, including the use of bioengineering. His previous research includes the first use of cosmogenic radionuclides to measure soil formation rates on arable soils, and one of the largest global analyses to amass soil formation and erosion data in order to assess soil sustainability. As EGU SSS Early Career Scientist representative, he is keen to listen to the needs and views of early career soil scientists via monthly check-ins, cultivate networks via campfire events, develop early career research collaboration opportunities, and celebrate ECS research outputs all year round, not just at the General Assembly.

As a professor specializing in paleoclimatology, my research delves into deciphering Earth’s past climates to understand their response to future climate change. Additionally, in my role as deputy ECS Union representative, I am dedicated to shedding light on the challenges and opportunities in balancing family and research goals. I strive to enhance visibility and amplify the impact of underrepresented groups and minorities within the scientific community.
