Dr. Pete Smith

Professor of Soils and Global Change — University of Aberdeen

Methodology focus

Professor of Soils and Global Change at the University of Aberdeen. Lead Author for multiple IPCC Assessment Reports. His multi-method MRV framework for soil carbon — combining long-term experiments, direct measurements, and process-based models — is the blueprint for nature-based proof packs.

Trellison / LedgerWell intersection. Global soils authority. UK/EU policy bridge.
