Jack is a soil scientist and head of the Agriculture Health and Environment Department at the Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich. Jack’s research focuses on soil data, soil health, land use change, regenerative agriculture and soil policy. It has included digital soil mapping using AI to predict and map soil properties, modelling agricultural land capability under climate change, and developing new frameworks for soil health indicators. She is interested in how different forms of soil data and soil knowledge can be integrated into model and analysis frameworks to inform local sustainable soil management, land use decisions and national monitoring schemes to track soil health. She works in transdisciplinary teams developing new concepts in soil and land systems and translates these into evidence for decision making.
