Simon brings to Integrity Ag and Environment over a decade of experience conducting research in the applied plant sciences. His passion is the sustainable intensification of Australia’s agricultural and horticultural industries. Simon’s most recent research combined field work and simulation modelling to study genotype, management and environment interactions in the context of summer crop agronomy. Prior to this he conducted diverse experiments to investigate grapevine water use and berry ripening in viticultural contexts.

Simon’s PhD work traced carbon, nitrogen and oxygen flows through prehistoric landscapes to ancient bird populations via the preservation of isotope ratios in eggshells. A quantitative understanding of elemental flows through complex systems continues in his current focus on carbon accounting and life cycle assessment, primarily for livestock and agricultural industries. Simon’s undergraduate studies were in human and physical geography, which have provided him with diverse knowledge of Australia’s landscapes and their management.
