Dr Michelle Cain

UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Environmental Data Analytics, Cranfield University

Dr Cain’s Future Leaders Fellowship research focuses on the role of greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide in limiting global warming in line with the Paris Agreement’s temperature limit.

For example, how much of a role methane and nitrous oxide can play in climate mitigation in agriculture. She is involved in projects to develop modelling tools to evaluate the impact of mitigation strategies on global warming. She co-led the UN FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) Technical Advisory Group on Methane which produced the report ‘Methane emissions in livestock and rice systems. Sources, quantification, mitigation, and metrics’, published in September 2023.
