Professor Greg Marsden leads on the DecarboN8 project and is Professor of Transport Governance, part of the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds. Prior to joining Leeds, Professor Marsden was seconded to the House of Commons Transport Select Committee whilst lecturing at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southampton. His principal areas of expertise and research interests are:
Leading on the DecarboN8 project, Greg works with researchers from across the North’s eight most research intensive universities to develop place-based decarbonisation research to accelerate the decarbonisation of transport. Working with local and national government, industry and third sector partners, the project will pump prime research to deliver new projects understanding the extent to which co-ordinated and ubiquitous solutions are necessary and when bespoke and more targeted solutions work better. Using the North of England’s diverse urban and rural environments as an integrated test site, the project will produce policy briefings and develop innovation bids as well as funding fundamental research.
