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. Recently, he delivered a review of soil formation rates and processes for government. In this talk, Dan highlights some of the understudied roles of soil parent materials and asks some emerging questions about the processes taking place across soil--parent material boundaries.
