Understanding Reactive Nitrogen

Join us for the next event in Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University’s Excellence Series—an ongoing celebration of academic leadership and applied research that contributes to a thriving, sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand. These events highlight the work of leading scholars whose research is shaping both national and global conversations.

Internationally recognised for his expertise in soil nitrogen dynamics, Professor Tim Clough has led groundbreaking studies exploring how nitrogen behaves in pastoral systems—particularly how it transforms and moves through soil following urine deposition and fertiliser application. His work has been pivotal in understanding and mitigating nitrous oxide emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.

By combining field experimentation with advanced analytical techniques, including isotopic tracing, his research has directly informed sustainable land management practices and climate policy both in New Zealand and internationally. His insights have contributed to national greenhouse gas inventories and underpinned practical nutrient management strategies tailored to pastoral farming systems.

Join us for this Excellence Series event where Professor Clough shares his research insights into nitrogen cycling, greenhouse gas mitigation, and the critical role of science in supporting climate-resilient agriculture.
