Dr Paul Quinn

Paul Quinn
Paul Quinn is Senior Lecturer in Catchment Hydrology in the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Newcastle University. His main interest is in making interventions in the landscape that have multiple benefits such as reducing export of nutrients from farming into waterways and reducing flood risk.

In addition to farm scale and catchment scale experiments with a range of interventions, Paul and his team have developed tools for communicating with farmers, agronomists, land use planners including the Decision Support Matrix and a multi-scale hydrological framework for decision support that has been adopted by the UNESCO HELP programme.

Paul Quinn has been a long term supporter of The Great Debate and has chaired a number of our events including Getting Real About Energy at European Geosciences Union in Vienna, 2010. He was also a major contributor to the Living in a Changing World project and was on the panel of Food and Water Security as part of The Green Phoenix debate programme in 2010 and the panel of Geoengineering the climate: the way forward? in Vienna, 2014.
