Current activities

Dr Andrew Angus is currently involved in an Omega Foundation project (Higher Education Funding Council for England), which will produce a framework for constructing marginal abatement curves for major air pollutants from the civil aviation sector. He is also contributing towards a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded project that will provide a ‘state of the science’ review on non-market valuation techniques.

Dr Andrew Angus is also the Course Director of the Economics for Natural Resource and Environmental Management postgraduate programme.

Background

Dr Andrew Angus graduated in Environmental Management at Cranfield University in 2000, before completing an MPhil at the University of Cambridge in Environmental Policy and Economics, with particular reference to the implementation of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control. In 2005 he completed a PhD at the University of Cambridge concerned with the socio-economic analysis of nitrogen abatement strategies. Andrew joined Cranfield University as a Research Fellow in environmental economics in 2004 and was appointed as Lecturer in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics in 2008.

Andrew has particular skills in modelling the links between production systems and their environmental impacts, and the appraisal of alternative policy interventions. His research has focussed on using techniques from the fields of Environmental Economics and Operational Research, such as Cost-Benefit Analysis and Multi-Criteria Analysis respectively, to investigate the social costs and benefits of policy interventions.

He is a member of several course teams and convenes modules on the MSc in Economics for Natural Resource and Environmental Management, as well as the MSc in Environmental Management for Business.
