Dr Shannon Page serves as Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Environmental Management at Lincoln University (New Zealand) since 2018. Her academic leadership spans transport-energy systems research with interdisciplinary applications in climate policy and sustainable development.
Her research focuses on transport and energy systems transformation to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, utilizing mathematical modeling of historical datasets to explore feasible technology limits. Key methodologies involve “what if” scenario analysis for renewable energy adoption and urban form changes, avoiding speculative forecasting for more robust policy insights. Primary research domains include:
- Electrified transport infrastructure impacts
- Renewable energy integration (solar, wind, geothermal)
- Sustainable mobility culture and behavioral adaptation
- Agricultural energy systems and livestock management
Recent publications demonstrate strong interdisciplinary trends, evolving from foundational work on 100% renewable electricity systems (2010-2013) toward integrated solutions for solar farming, electric vehicle tourism, and precision agriculture. Her work consistently addresses New Zealand’s unique energy challenges while contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
Dr Page has supervised 10+ postgraduate research projects including “Our electric futures: understanding hydrogen’s role in NZ grid dispatch” (2024) and “Body composition estimation in breeding ewes” (2024), demonstrating cross-sectoral impact. She examines as course examiner for Advanced Energy and Transport Planning (ERST 608) and Environmental Management Systems.
Her laboratory work centers on energy modeling and spatial analysis, with recent collaborations extending into agricultural technology applications through image analysis of livestock systems. Current projects explore solar farming viability and electric vehicle tourism infrastructure challenges.
