Background
Dr Jacqueline Hannam (Jack) graduated in Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia and subsequently studied for a PhD in Geography and Soil Science at the University of Liverpool. Jack is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the British Society of Soil Scientists. Jack has worked as a post-doctoral researcher in environmental magnetism at the Institute of Geophysics, ETH, Zurich. Subsequent post-doctoral positions at the University of Liverpool involved research into soil magnetism and applications in landmine clearance. Jack joined the soil systems group at Cranfield in September 2004.
