About Michael's Work
I lead the Trase Research and Development team (trase.earth) from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SE). My research has focused on developing commodity supply chain maps for South American soy and beef to allow supply chain sustainability assessments focused on deforestation and water use. for commodity production to global supply chains. My past research focused on the implications of soybean and cattle production options on the water cycle in Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado biomes using both ecohydrology and supply chain impact assessment modeling. I have experience in product and river basin water footprint assessments, and have spent several years studying the Pantanal wetland’s carbon biogeochemistry with a focus on CO2 and CH4 emissions.
