Christopher Marshall

Christopher Marshall is a Peatland Scientist at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) North West and Hebrides. His work focuses on landscape-scale peatland processes, integrating satellite radar (InSAR) and field data to assess resilience to climate change and restoration effectiveness.

• Collaborations: Forestry and Land Scotland, Peatland Action, University Centre in Svalbard, NERC, Leverhulme Trust.
• Research Themes: Peatland monitoring using 'bog breathing' dynamics, wildfire impacts, Arctic peat formation analogs, and climate change adaptation.

Recent Publications highlight applications of remote sensing in peatland condition assessment, wildfire resilience, and tropical peat hydrology. Key projects include the Leverhulme Leadership Award and NERC-funded 'Fire Blanket' initiative.

Scientific Awards:

• Leverhulme Leadership Award
• NERC Grant

Media Impact: His work on satellite-based peatland monitoring and carbon emission reductions has been covered by multiple outlets, including the University of Nottingham and NatureScot reports.
