Kevin Bishop

From 2016-2020 I served as SLU’s Pro Vice-Chancellor with responsibility for both research infrastructure and SLU’s environmental monitoring and assessment that provides timely decision support for public policy. Ialso served the as Director of the Sweden’s National Research Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES, 2023-2024). I was honored to recieve the Rossby Prize in Nordic Geophysics (2017) administered by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for “…significant contributions in environmental research and for his commitment to the sustainable use of natural resources.” In 2019 I was elected as a Fellow of Sweden’s Royal Academy of Forestry and Agriculture. 

My research interests focus on defining and managing human impact on aquatic ecosystems. I bring a hydrologist’s perspective to issues surrounding carbon cycles and mercury pollution in forest landscapes, with a particular focus on the transport and transformation of both natural and anthropogenic constituents as they move through catchments.
